girls had to face Korea for the second time. The Korean girls are eager toplay lacrosse and a fair and great friendly match was played. The Dutch girls were a bit too strong for Korea which resulted in a 26-1 loss.With this score Holland holds now the record for most goals in a game during the world cup. Today the girls play Austria at 15:30 instead of 11:00! Because of the havy rain fall of the last two days, the grass fields are not possible to play on and all matches are moved to turf fields.

Today there was time to rest and to prepare for tomorrows game. Although Haudenosaunee is just as the Dutchies a new comer in the World Cup, the game is defenitely not new to them as they present the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Iroquois\" target=\"_blank\">native Americans<\/a>. This game will decide if they will end up fighting for the 9th till 12th place or will end up between the 13th and 17th place. All good reasons to watch and mentally support!

Score board showed 7:0 after just seven minutes and another eight goals were added by Netherlanders, whose aggressive and swift actions caused a lot of troubles in Korean defense.\u201d\u00a0 <em>(Korea \u2013 Nederland)<\/em> \u00a0 Both quotes apply also for today. Also today the match was very pleasant to look at. the girls worked hard, showed enthusiasm on the pitch and on the sideline and gave away some great stickwork. Denmark was playing strong as if they adapted the Dutch Slogan \u201cAlles of Niets\u201d and was putting a lot of pressure on the bal. But nothing could prevent the Dutch girls from scoring as\u00a0in the first half already 8 goals were\u00a0scored against 1 from Denmark. The second half was used\u00a0to\u00a0try out plays and improve defense as practice\u00a0for the rest of the world cup,\u00a0resulting in 10 goals for Nederland and 4 for Denmark. As last but not least I want to compliment the cheering squad. Dressed in bright orange, they\u00a0were singing the classic songs as \u201cFreaky, Deaky, Dutch, Ol\u00e9, Oleeeee\u201d, \u201cHet is stil aan de overkant\u201d and my favorite: \u201cVan voor naar achter van links naar rechts\u201d. My special compliments for the revival of the Official Freaky Deaky Dutch Flag! Tomorrow, the girls are playing against Austria at 12.15 on Pitch B. The same Austria they had already beaten during the Berlin Open with 11-3. The girls won\u2019t take this game lightly, since also Austria will also remember. Therefore\u00a0it is likely to do everything to prevent a second loss.<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-info --><\/div>\n<p><!-- #post-## --><\/p>\n<div id=\"post-335\">\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/dutchlacrosse.wordpress.com\/2009\/06\/20\/dutch-win-against-korea-next-game-denmark\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Dutch Win Against Korea, Next Game\u00a0Denmark!<\/a><\/h2>\n<div>Posted on <a title=\"9:07 pm\" href=\"https:\/\/dutchlacrosse.wordpress.com\/2009\/06\/20\/dutch-win-against-korea-next-game-denmark\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">June 20, 2009<\/a> by <a title=\"View all posts by dutchlax\" href=\"https:\/\/dutchlacrosse.wordpress.com\/author\/dutchlax\/\" rel=\"author\">dutchlax<\/a> |<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-meta --><\/p>\n<div>Today the DNT beat\u00a0 Korea 24-1 in their second game of the C mini pool.\u00a0\u00a0 The Dutch women are now 1-1 in World Cup play and will play Denmark tomorrow at 1:00 Czech Republic Time.\u00a0 Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacrosseworldcup2009.com\/\">www.lacrosseworldcup2009.com<\/a>\u00a0 and click on watch game now to see the game live at 1:00 PM on Pitch B.<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-info --><\/div>\n<p><!-- #post-## --><\/p>\n<div id=\"post-325\">\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/dutchlacrosse.wordpress.com\/2009\/06\/19\/netherlands-ireland-first-half-6-16\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Netherlands \u2013 Ireland:\u00a013-23<\/a><\/h2>\n<div>Posted on <a title=\"3:34 pm\" href=\"https:\/\/dutchlacrosse.wordpress.com\/2009\/06\/19\/netherlands-ireland-first-half-6-16\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">June 19, 2009<\/a> by <a title=\"View all posts by dutchlax\" href=\"https:\/\/dutchlacrosse.wordpress.com\/author\/dutchlax\/\" rel=\"author\">dutchlax<\/a> |<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-meta --><\/p>\n<div>Thanks to videosport.cz, we were able to see the game online. Almost as if we were standing right next the pitch. When the National Anthem started I was wondering if there was somebody who couldn\u2019t be proud of our team, as they were standing arm in arm at the beginning of the game. All credits go to Mary Bergmann and Aafke Kamstra for giving us such great appearances! The first half, especially the first 10 minutes, the nerves of the Dutch girls were ruling the field resulting in a 10-0 start for Ireland. But after a quick talk of Coach David, the spirits were lifted, minds were focused and the nerves were placed under control. The Dutchies came back into the game: Ilsa van der Berg (nr 17)\u00a0opened the scorelist for Holland after 20.52 minutes of playtime, quickly (22.71 min) followed by a goal from the 18 year old Sarah Sweerts de Landas (nr 18)\u00a0Wyborgh\u00a0 and another one made by Ilsa van der Berg (25.48 min). was the moment where the Irish Coach asked for a Time Out.\u00a0This was a clever move definitely in favor for the Irish girls, because 4 other goals for Ireland were made, until a score of 14-3. Michelle Scanlon \u2013 van Wert (nr 7),who used to play defense for her club, but is in attack for the Netherlands, broke the Irish pattern\u00a0assisted\u00a0by Mary Bergmann (nr 12)\u00a0 by a goal for the Netherlands at 29.94 minutes. As before, this turn raised the spirits of the Dutch girls and brought them back in the game where Ilsa van der Berg, assisted by Jessica Stokhof (nr 21) put the score to 14-6. Ireland had the chance to make two more goals, but with only 35 seconds on the clock before half time, Marjolein Munniksma (nr 13) was able to set the final half time score to 16-6. Because of technical problems, the broadcasting online was abruptly broken off after the first half. Luckily there are still such things as old fashioned sound only connections; called mobile phones.\u00a0 So, here is in short a summary of the second half. Hopefully details can be filled in at a later time point. Almost as tradition for the Dutch Women\u2019s Team, the second half was much better.\u00a0The Irish had to work for each piece of ground. This resulted in a score in the second half of 6-7 in favor of the Netherlands, well done Dutchies! Unfortunately, this battle left its marks on some of the players. \u00a0Don\u2019t worry dear family, friends and fans of the Dutch Players, it is nothing that our incredible physiotherapist Rachel Southall cannot fix. I think we can be very, very proud of the opening of this first game, where the girls showed that they have the quality, strength and most of all willpower to come back in the game and fight each opponent with equal strength. Tomorrow, the girls play their second game at 13:00 against South Corea at pitch B. Again, I will be dressed in orange, watching online, cheering (he, you never know the impact of mental power) and hoping the channel doesn\u2019t change this time.<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-info --><\/div>\n<p><!-- #post-## --><\/p>\n<div id=\"post-312\">\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/dutchlacrosse.wordpress.com\/2009\/06\/18\/watch-ireland-v-netherlands-live\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Watch Ireland v Netherlands\u00a0LIVE<\/a><\/h2>\n<div>Posted on <a title=\"4:09 pm\" href=\"https:\/\/dutchlacrosse.wordpress.com\/2009\/06\/18\/watch-ireland-v-netherlands-live\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">June 18, 2009<\/a> by <a title=\"View all posts by dutchlax\" href=\"https:\/\/dutchlacrosse.wordpress.com\/author\/dutchlax\/\" rel=\"author\">dutchlax<\/a> |<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-meta --><\/p>\n<div>Tomorrow at 16:00 (Dutch Time) our women will play their first game against Ireland.

It\u2019s cold, it\u2019s wet at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amvj.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">AMVJ Hockey Club<\/a>, Amsterdam.\u00a0 Germany and the Netherlands are preparing for battle.\u00a0\u00a0 This is the first time that these teams have met in the history of international lacrosse and despite the fact that this is only a friendly, both teams are ready to give it their all. The Netherlands team has seen minor changes since the European Championships and it\u00a0was interesting to see how this affected their game.\u00a0\u00a0 Both teams started out strongly, but the more experienced German team had gained a significant\u00a0lead by the end of the first half. \u00a0\u00a0 Half-time proved to be a turning point for the Dutch Team.\u00a0 Coach David Abini reminded the girls of a motto from the European Championships, \u201cAlles of Niets\u201d (All or Nothing). This encouragment united the team and refueled their ambition to do their best.\u00a0 Despite a dissapointing overall-loss, the Dutch girls won the second half\u00a05-4. <img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"yellowcard\" alt=\"Yellow Card...\" src=\"https:\/\/dutchlacrosse.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/02\/yellowcard.jpg?w=500&amp;h=332\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" \/> Yellow Card&#8230; Sunday February 22nd.\u00a0 It\u2019s still cold, still wet, and it\u2019s early. There was tangible excitement on the field as these teams faced each other for a second time.\u00a0 Determination only grew on the Dutch side with the \u00a0first goal scored by Mary Bergmann. This is the first time the Dutch girls have ever been in the lead in an international game. The Germans chased the Dutch team for the remainder of the first half, demonstrated by a promising score of 5-5 at half-time. <img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"marygoal\" alt=\"A successful drive to goal!\" src=\"https:\/\/dutchlacrosse.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/02\/marygoal.jpg?w=500&amp;h=332\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" \/> A successful drive to goal! The Dutch Women\u2019s Team was more fluid, more together than before.\u00a0 They played to their strengths, refusing to be intimidated by the German team:\u00a0 the Germans\u00a0were\u00a0placed 8th in the world in 2005, before the idea of a\u00a0Dutch Women\u2019s team could even be conceived. In addition, they played in the higher ranked \u201cfirst\u201d pool during the European Championships in 2008. The second half mirrored the first, with the Germans continuing to keep up with the Dutch, but never surpassing them until the last five minutes.\u00a0 The final score of 10-8 to Germany was nevertheless an undeniable success for the Netherlands. The Dutch women lived up to their inspiring motto, \u201cAlles of Niets\u201d and proved to themselves, as well as their supporters, their dedication to a higher level of performance for the World Cup in June. <img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"hug\" alt=\"Aafke and Jantien celebrate after a goal.\" src=\"https:\/\/dutchlacrosse.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/02\/hug.jpg?w=500&amp;h=334\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" \/> Aafke and Jantien celebrate after a goal.
