Despite her fine play, primarily at center mid, Maya’s high school soccer team suffered their first loss today to Acton Boxborough by a margin of 0-1. The game was very close and the difference, in my estimation, came down to bench strength and finishing. AB had 12 subs to Concord’s 2 and by the end of the match, we did not have the legs to score an equalizer despite several excellent opportunities. I believe a second encounter with this team will produce a very different outcome. Maya has really developed a strong sense of the mid field position and I think it is a very good fit for her skills and playing style.
