Stade Lausanne - Grasshopper Club Zürich --- 2:3
On a very nice Sunday afternoon the GC ladies played an intense match in Lausanne against Stade Lausanne Hockey Sur Gazon. It was the debut match for both midfielder Olivia and attacker Alba.
From the beginning the Lausanne players put heavy pressure on GC, but the GC players held the attack off nicely. Thanks to a goal from Virgina, GC took the lead in the second quarter and maintained the lead going into the second half.
GC began the second half with high energy, but unfortunately could not prevent the Lausanne attack in the first few minutes, bringing the score to 1:1. However, GC didn't let this conceded goal stand in their way and quickly managed to win a short corner. The next GC goal was scored by Lara's direct hit off of a corner to bring the score to 1:2. GC then kept up the momentum with a goal by Frances after a 1:1 showdown with a Lausanne goalkeeper. After another goal from Lausanne, the third quarter ended with a score of 2:3. During a tough showdown in the fourth quarter, the strong GC defense (Annie, Vera, Viola, Lara) held off Lausanne to win with a final score of 2:3.
