A Back and Forth Game
The girls head into their parents weekend break fresh off a strong performance against a good squad from Kingswood. The visitors got on the board first, pouncing on a misplayed ball in the back. Eve Cathcart '20 tied it up with a nice finish at the end of a great individual effort to beat a string of defenders. Kate Lovas '18 made it 2-1 for the Martlets with a hard blast from outside of the box in the 30th minute. Perhaps the key play of the game came in the 35th minute when goalkeeper Alison Kijanka '20 stopped a penalty kick to maintain the hosts' lead heading into halftime. Not to be outdone, Jenny Guider '20, taking the netminder detail for the second half, came off of her line to smother an early opportunity for Kingswood to tie the game. In the 58th minute Ridgely Green '20 brought the lead to two, taking a one-time shot from inside the box after a cross had bounced around a bit. Several minutes later, Caroline McCausland '19 extended the lead to three when she calmly played a long shot over the keeper on a quick counterattack. The Wyverns cut the lead to 4-2 in the 71st minute, working the ball into close range after winning possession deep in their attacking end. The Martlets got it back to three when Susie Mahoney '20 gathered in an Abby Davis '20 cross, took a couple of dribbles to free herself, and tucked the ball in the side net in the 75th minute. Not about to quit, the visitors earned another goal as time wound down to make the final score 5-3. In addition to the strong efforts on the offensive end, credit must also go to backliners Dallis Alvarez '18, Daniela Mays-Sanchez '20, McKenzie Roller '20 and co-captain Maddie Dwyer '18, who did well to thwart many dangerous counterattacks from the Wyverns. The girls can look forward not only to several days off, but also to a rematch with Loomis next weekend.
