If you missed Week 3 of the Wednesday Night Women’s League at Akron Indoor Soccer, you missed an absolute spectacle. The games were packed with goals, drama, and enough questionable defensive plays to keep everyone entertained. Let’s break down the wild evening that saw comebacks, collapses, and a whole lot of high-fives.
Buckeye Bullets vs. The Plastics
Final Score: Buckeye Bullets 6, The Plastics 12
The night kicked off with a match that was less “soccer game” and more “goal-a-thon.” The Plastics came out looking like they had spent the pregame perfecting their fast-break strategy and their post-goal celebrations. The Bullets tried to keep up, firing off a respectable six goals, but their defense was nowhere to be found—probably distracted by The Plastics’ dazzling footwork and equally dazzling neon socks.
The Plastics’ goalkeeper earned MVP honors for her unorthodox approach, which mostly involved yelling, “Not today!” every time a shot came her way. Despite the loss, the Bullets showed flashes of brilliance, including a hat trick from their star striker. But in the end, the relentless attack of The Plastics proved too much to handle.
MissFits vs. Kent
Final Score: MissFits 5, Kent 9
Game two brought chaos, as the MissFits lived up to their name by delivering a performance that was equal parts inspiring and infuriating. Their offense found some rhythm, netting five goals, but their defense played like they’d been told the game was freeze tag. Kent capitalized on this, scoring nine goals and looking increasingly smug with each one.
One particularly memorable moment came when a Kent midfielder nutmegged not one but two MissFits defenders in quick succession, prompting the crowd to erupt in a mixture of awe and secondhand embarrassment. While Kent celebrated their second win of the season, the MissFits left the field vowing to “work on communication” at their next practice—code for “stop yelling at each other mid-game.”
Susserfuss – Chocolate vs. Y-Town
Final Score: Susserfuss – Chocolate 8, Y-Town 3
In the evening’s marquee matchup, Chocolate continued their dominance with an 8-3 dismantling of Y-Town. The first half was surprisingly close, with Y-Town’s speedy forwards keeping Chocolate on their toes. But in the second half, Chocolate turned up the heat, scoring five unanswered goals in a display of precision passing and clinical finishing.
Y-Town’s defense struggled to keep pace, resorting to some “creative” tactics that earned them multiple warnings from the referee. Chocolate’s star midfielder put on a masterclass, orchestrating plays and scoring twice herself, leaving fans wondering if she’s secretly training with a professional team on weekends.
Susserfuss – Vanilla vs. GFS
Final Score: Susserfuss – Vanilla 9, GFS 7
The most tightly contested match of the night featured Vanilla and GFS in a back-and-forth battle that had fans on the edge of their seats. GFS struck first with two quick goals, but Vanilla responded with three of their own, setting the tone for an offensive showdown.
GFS kept it close thanks to their sharpshooting forward, who seemingly scored from every angle imaginable, including one shot that ricocheted off both posts before going in. But Vanilla’s balanced attack proved too much in the end, as they sealed the victory with two late goals that left GFS’s goalkeeper shaking her head in disbelief.
Sharp Shooters vs. BB2
Final Score: Sharp Shooters 8, BB2 7
The night’s final game was a thriller, as the Sharp Shooters narrowly edged out BB2 in an 8-7 nail-biter. BB2 came into the match winless but played like a team possessed, diving for loose balls and arguing every call with the passion of champions. The Sharp Shooters, meanwhile, lived up to their name by converting nearly every chance they got.
With just minutes left, BB2 tied the game at 7-7, setting up a dramatic finish. In the final moments, a Sharp Shooters midfielder unleashed a rocket from midfield that found the top corner, sealing the win and sending their bench into hysterics. BB2’s players left with their heads held high—and one claiming, “Next week, we’re bringing VAR.”
Final Thoughts
Week 3 was a night of high-scoring action and memorable moments that will be talked about in the bleachers for weeks to come. With the standings tightening up and rivalries heating up, next week promises even more fireworks. Stay tuned, soccer fans—this league is just getting started!
