Kearney came to Harrisonville tonight for a much needed battle. They brought a disciplined offense and a tight defense that was able to shut down most of the Cat's offensive runs in the first half. The second half saw the Cats open up and play with more control through the midfield but we were unable to capitalize on the opportunities we had on goal. The defense held through both halves but one point blank shot tested Sara Clarke. She came up huge with a one handed reaction save to her right to push the contest to overtime. While Kearney controlled possession through the first half and had a slight advantage through the second half, the Cats pressed hard in the two ten minute overtime periods. Both teams failed to score in overtime and forced the game to a shoot out that went through two rounds of five each with Kearney coming away with win after eight. This was a hard fought game against a team who has recorded two other shootout wins (Ozark and Eureka) in the last week and a half. It was good to see the girls tested like this and I think they came away a better team for it. Great game ladies!
Go Cats!
