Carlsbad’s Kelly McCann, a member of the Duke University Blue Devils women’s soccer team, made a major contribution to their weekend win over the University of Georgia and helped move the Blue Devils in the NCAA Sweet 16 on Sunday.
Junior Kelly McCann played the ball to the right side of the field just outside Georgia’s penalty box. Redmond, a native of Morristown, N.J., latched on to the pass, took a touch back inside to put the ball on the left foot, and struck a bending ball into the top left corner of the Bulldog net. Betos made a diving effort and got a hand on the shot but couldn’t catch enough to parry it wide. . . “Kelly McCann played a really good entry ball to her,” said [Robbie] Church. “She turned and started to run at their back line. I noticed that none of their back players stepped to her. She knows that if they don’t step to her she has the freedom to hit. She then cranked it and it was a great goal.” . . McCann, who is from Carlsbad, Calif., posted her fourth assist this year.
Yeah, that’s how we do it in Carlsbadistan. Congrats, Kelly.
