Preview - Game #7 - Ocean

Nice to see so many Boro players at the RBC-Ocean game tonight.  Great match as Ocean pulls the 1-0 upset before a huge crowd.  A few first hand observations about Ocean.

- They are fast.  Both foot speed and the way they play - throw in or free kick, they immediately put it in play.  If you are not ready they are past you.
- They attack from outside the box.  They fire away from 20, 30+ yards out with power and accuracy.  If they get a rebound off a defender or the keeper doesn't handle it clean they are there looking for the rebound.
- They are physical, almost as much as Wall was. They are not shy about falling down either.  Keep your hands down.
- #20 is real good.  Has 10 of their 28 goals so far and 5 assists.  Better know where she is at all times.

Ocean is a CJ Group 3 team.  They compete with Boro in the B-North division of the Shore Conference.  Ocean and Boro have played 8 times in the past 3 years.  Each game is a war.
