Thoughts and Opinions

Yeah, I'm sorry. Memorial Day weekend with the closest Indy 500 in history, with a Dayton stream that didn't start well, had very wide angle shots, and didn't have any commentary to help with players... Not going to be my best discussion. 

In what looked like unpleasant weather conditions in Dayton that only got worse as the game progressed, the Dayton Dutch Lions came away with a win that seemed like a reasonably fair result as best I could tell. Neither team seemed to generate a ton of good chances in the weather and DAY found a goal with a looping shot over Edwards. The first half goal was enough for the Dutch Lions to see out the win as the weather deteriorated and their defense remained sufficient.

The loss brings Indy's record to 1W-1D-1L as they head to Louisville to play Racing again thanks to the three-game round robin format of the Valley Division. Indy will be on the road again as they continue this stretch of away games. Luckily, the team's home games are back loaded at the end of the season when, hopefully, the girls have fully gelled, and, again hopefully, are still in contention to win the Division.
