In a rematch of last week’s LiveSpot (Waldbaum’s Cup) game (won by NHP 3-2), the NHP Lady Pumas squared off against the always tough Northshore United squad.
Northshore built a 1-0 lead at halftime before the game really came alive in the second half when five goals would be scored.
Northshore build a 3-1 with 12 minutes left in the game before NHP rose from the ashes and came storming back to tie the game 3-3 and had several chances to win the game in the final minutes.
The offense was led by Izzy Glennon who converted on a breakaway to make it 1-1 at the time, and then buried a loose ball in front of goal to cut the NS lead to 3-2.
Cara Becker had a strong finish and tallied a fantastic game tying goal when she one-touched a karate kick goal off a feed from Katie Krems (I believe).
Krems had a assist and just missed the game winning goal when she took a hard-low shot from the top of the 18 that just skipped wide of the far post.
Theodora Papadoniou also had a strong offensive game and took several shots on goal and fought hard for the ball.
At midfield, Kira Crehan, Clare Iriarte, and Sophia Leeds each fought hard and had some nice passes which fed the attack.
On defense, Mackenzie Griffen contributed with a super assist on Glennon’s first goal and did a nice job in general breaking up attacks.
Stephanie Karczewski, Isabel Ugolini, Eleni Spiratos, and Casey Sanders (super offensive pressure late in the game) all did a fine job breaking up attacks and clearing the ball out of danger.
In goal was Ellie Eisenberg who did a real nice job blocking shots and covering up.
Casey Conners and Edna Dudek – we missed you
