The Freedom continued their winning ways this weekend with a solid 3-0 shutout over the Jersey Sky Blue at the Maryland Soccer Plex in Germantown MD. Despite the shutout score, this game was anything but close, and the Sky Blue pressured for all 90 minutes of regulation. Thanks to a stifling defense and a stoic performance by keeper Chante Sandiford, the Freedom walked off the pitch with a confident 3-0 win, having been tested in the backfield.
The Sky Blue took the opening possessions and drove into Freedom territory, forcing Lori Lindsey and Sarah Huffman to clear on several occasions. The Freedom responded in kind with attacks on their own, including a shot by Jenn Parsens in the seventh minute. Sky Blue keeper Jillian Loyden was called on to make a diving save to keep the score knotted at zero.
