Comeback Falls Short

As in their first home game, the girls dug themselves a first-half hole that proved too deep to climb out from. The visiting Daisies scored four unanswered goals before halftime, the first on a free kick just three minutes in, and the second just eight minutes later on shot from outside of the box. The Martlets generated three good chances in the ensuing few minutes, but gave up two more goals just after the midway point – one was another long shot, the other was an own goal when a clearing attempt spun off a defender’s foot. Four more good chances for the hosts came to naught in the remaining minutes of the half, giving the girls a monumental task for the second frame. Needing an early boost, the girls got it when Cecilia Raymond '20 converted on a breakaway just five minutes in. She would score again midway through the half, stuffing home a loose ball from close range after Susie Mahoney '20 beat three defenders on the dribble and sent a shot off the keeper’s hands. Mahoney would get a goal of her own after gathering in a through ball from Lauren Way '20, setting up an exciting final eight minutes. Unfortunately, the equalizer didn't come, but the girls can still feel good about their refusal to quit and the quality of their play on the day. Today’s shout-out goes to Hailey Tullo '22, who hustled her way into numerous plays and made a lot of good touches, including a long run down the wing to set up a good chance on goal. Mention must also be made of Jane Ogden '19, who played well in her first start at defense. The girls will face another tough test against the Pelicans of Loomis on Saturday.
