The Pride held tight for an hour in Saturday’s 3-0 loss to North Carolina. However, as has been the case a lot this year, once they concede, they find it hard to stop the bleeding, and in 26 short minutes, Kristen Hamilton put together a hat trick. Time to break it down and select the player of the match!
GK, Haley Kopmeyer, 4.5 — I’m going to go ahead and put Kopmeyer just below average for the first time this season. Bad handling led to the first goal, the second was just perfectly placed, and although the third required a bit of heroics, I feel she could have gotten her hand on it as it sailed just to the side of her glove.
