The Wildcats fell to O'Hara 2-3 on the road tonight in a close game that went to sudden-death overtime. It was back and forth all game with most of the possession going to Harrisonville. O'Hara scored early in the first half but AJ Erickson rallied the team back soon after bring the game even on a perfectly struck place kick from well outside the penalty box.
AJ teamed up with fellow freshman, Karson Wilson for a second goal just minutes before the end of the first half. O'Hara was able to take advantage of some attacking runs in the second half and brought the game back 2-2, sending the game in to overtime.
The Cats controlled the overtime period and had many chances but O'Hara was able to capitalize on the one shot on goal they got and ended the game as the sky began to look dark and ominous.
The JV game got a good 24 minutes in before lightning on the horizon concerned the refs enough to end it in a 0-0 draw.
This was a hard fought game. O'Hara plays a rough and tumble defense and isn't afraid to lay on some hits when trying to gain possession. Coming off their win against this same team at home, I think the girls did well and I think it was one of the best games they have played against a tough team on a natural grass field. Great job ladies. Keep up the good work.
