Two Good Teams Battle to Draw

Second Girls’ Soccer played an outstanding game and nearly took down the undefeated Wyverns. With their passing game at its most impressive, the girls controlled the bulk of the play in the first half. Although they enjoyed a lopsided advantage in time of possession and advances into the attacking third, the girls did not score until the 37th minute, when Cecilia Raymond '20 poked a ball past a charging keeper and pushed it into the open net. The visitors came out applying pressure in the second half, but it was the Martlets who got on the board. In the 46th minute Susie Mahoney '20 drove the ball home after a shot by Lauren Way '20 deflected off the goalie's hands and the crossbar. Five minutes later Raymond notched her second of the day when another offering from Way resulted in a scramble in front of the net. The Wyvern pressure would finally bear fruit in the 53rd minute when their striker scored the first of her hat trick with a blast from long range. Her second came in similar fashion just six minutes later, while the equalizer was a converted penalty kick in the 65th minute. The hosts had three great chances to score the go-ahead goal in the last 15 minutes. Way sent another shot off the crossbar. Hailey Tullo '22 took a great shot that was tipped over the top by the KO keeper. And Mahoney was set up with under five minutes to go by a beautiful pass from Ridgely Green '20, but her shot went just wide. Goalkeeper Lili Birrell '22 took care of the Wyvern's best last chance when she snatched a corner kick out of the air. Although the girls were disappointed to let the win slip away, they can and should be proud of their performance. The upcoming break is welcome and well-earned.
