10/4/13: An impressive come-from-behind win

The Stampede overcame an early deficit to beat Woodland Saturday 5-2 at the Woodland Community Center fields. The locals drew first blood as Ainsley Carrol scored off a keeper ricochet.   However, the northern rivals struck back twice in short order putting the Stampede behind 2-1 at the half. Jordan Davis converted a breakaway on an assist from Anne Ayotte as the second half began to even the score. Later she assisted Allie Belafsky with a long throw in who tapped it in from the six for the go-ahead tally. Lily Byrne then assisted J Davis with a through ball and Davis put the moves on the keeper for another conversion, 4-2. Finally, Byrne found Carrol at the 18 who placed it far post for the fifth and final tally. Despite physical play (and lots of bruises), the Stampede held their own to gain the victory.
