The Kool Kats had all that they could handle from the Hauppauge Comets.
The Comets lived up to their name streaking all over the field. Hauppauge was a fast team that went non-stop.
Thanks to some timely goal tending by Kaitlyn Biscotti and the offensive prowess of Victoria Lofaro and Casey Naab the Kool Kats were luky to escape with a tie and a much needed point.
Lofaro put the Kool Kats 1st goal in the net to tie the match at 1-1. The goal was scored on a nice layout pass by Emily Bunyon (assist).
The half ended in a 1-1 tie.
Things looked bleak for the Kats as the Comets dominated. The Comets scored two goals on six shots and had a 3-1 lead with about 15 minutes to go in the game.
The Kool Kats gained their composure and started to put things together.
Spirited play in the mid-field by Elissa Mejia started to turn the tide resulting in a few scoring opportunities. Captain Samantha Wheeler (assist) fed Casey Naab the ball, and Naab drilled it into the back of the net to bring the Kool Kats within one goal.
Due to injuries the game time was running out when Erin Balletta (assist) found Lofaro just outside the 18 -yard box, where she curved the ball into the top right corner for the tying goal.
After about another minute of play the referee blew the final whistle to register the tie.
