The Wildcats came up short tonight, falling 2-1 in double overtime against a tough Warrensburg team. The Cats had beaten the Tigers 5-0 earlier in the year but knew that this would not be an easy game since we lost three of our top starters in the Pembroke Hill game. The team that hit the field tonight showed great honor and spirit. Everyone stepped up and gave it all. They left it all on the field.
The Cats scored first off a wonderful Alex Erickson corner kick. Karson Wilson strode in and drove a towering header through a hole in the defenders. I thought she might have grazed her head on the cross bar she jumped so high. It wasn't until the second half that Warrensburg was able to capitalize on a scrum for the ball in the box. Shots were blocked at least twice by the keeper and defense but we were unable to clear the ball before the Tigers poked it home. Both side created opportunities with shots on goal but the score remained tied at the end of regulation. The first overtime came and went and then on to a second. The Cats had at least two shots fall wide of the goal and both sides won corner kicks they failed to convert. I thought we might finish out the second overtime and go to PK's until Warrensburg was able to put a perfectly placed shot on goal to end the game with four minutes left.
I was really proud of all the girls for keeping their composer in this hard fought battle. This has been a wonderful season and your record reflects it. The Cats finished the season 14-3 with 11 shutouts, 102 goals for and only 9 goals against. Well done ladies! Well done!
