Eighty Minutes is Not Enough
The girls jumped out to an early lead on the road when Susie Mahoney '20 got behind the Rhino defense in the fourth minute. Her breakaway was thwarted initially, but she maintained her poise and got the ball into the side netting for a 1-0 lead. Mahoney and Cecilia Raymond '20 would be sent behind the defense several more times in the first half, but either the angle wasn't right or the swift Taft defenders would recover in time to keep the Martlets from increasing their margin. The Rhinos also found their own opportunities to be dangerous, launching half a dozen long shots that missed the target and several more that were handled by netminder Lili Birrell '22. Despite the many threats on both goals, Mahoney's early tally would be the only one of the first half. The second half had a very similar feel, with both defenses getting tested a bunch of times. Midway through, the hosts capitalized on a short goal kick, taking a quick, long blast that buzzed in over Birrell's outstretched arms to knot the score. As in the first half, much end-to-end action would produce no more scoring, resulting in a tie that was not unfair, but probably left both sides rueful, each having rattled the woodwork with what could have been a game-winner. The shout-out for the day goes to Campbell Swift '21, who frequently disrupted Rhino attacks before they developed into chances on goal.
