After taking some tough losses the past few weeks, the Lady Hurricanes soccer team was desperate and hungry for a win. Last Thursday was their chance.
The host Hurricanes took on the Blue Devils from Independence High School. They came in with a record of 4-3, looking to move up the leaderboard in the Chagrin Valley Conference.
In the first half, not much happened as there was some intense pressure put onto senior standout Delaney David as the Blue Devils double teamed, sometimes triple teaming the Hurricanes captain, leaving her without many opportunities to score.
With the scoreboard even at zero, both teams still had their one goal within reach.
Early in the second half, the visiting Blue Devils scored the first (and only) goal of the game, making it 1-0. Immediately after the goal with emotions and tensions high, senior Alyssa Todorovich received a yellow card, but the Lady Canes never gave up. They kept scratching and clawing away.
The last few minutes of the game (crunch time), Brooklyn was still fighting and battling the Blue Devils and the cold, frigid weather, but they could not get that one goal, that game-tying goal, thus falling to Independence, 1-0.
“The wind definitely took part in why we lost. We still tried and put in the work, but Independence got the better of us,” stated discouraged head coach, Alison Rafter.
Brooklyn’s effort on defense was tremendous as displayed in this game; Independence also showed what their defense was about, too. But, one goal was all that the Lady Canes needed, and they came up short.
With the loss, their record goes to 4-4, and they will look to get back on track tonight at 6:00 p.m. when they travel to Wickliffe.
