Last Saturday, the Lady Hurricanes soccer team visited the Brush Arcs. The Arcs entered this game with a 6-4-1 record, while the Hurricanes came in at 1-9.
It is an understatement acknowledging that the girls have struggled this year, but head coach Rob Previts is counting on his squad to do all of the little things right to have success and to continue their growth.
“We, as always, count on our senior goalkeeper Madison Gaughan to come up with big saves for us in goal. Our sweeper, senior Olivia Blechschmid, anchors our defense, and our offense is led by senior Lauren Atanacio and sophomore Reese Alonso. We are not that far off from turning this season around.”
Both defenses would play a key role in this contest.
With Brush having the early edge on offense, the Arcs had some shots to grab an early lead, but Gaughan made some nice saves to keep the home team off of the scoreboard.
When the Arcs had breakaways, Blechschmid and senior Kayla Flanagan were able to boot those away. Additionally, sophomore Alexa Chin showed great handles, dribbling through multiple defenders.
With more great defense along with terrific communication, the Hurricanes were able to keep the Arcs scoreless in the first half.
On the other side, the Hurricanes did not have many offensive opportunities, as the score would remain 0-0 after 40 minutes.
The great defense continued into the second half, and the chances were there for both sides to capitalize, but neither team could convert. However, in minute 65, the Arcs got on the board to grab a 1-0 lead. They would tack on two more goals in the 70th and 72nd minutes to take a commanding 3-0 lead.
However, the Hurricanes had a late fight in them as in the 78th minute, a nice pass from Alonso allowed Atanacio to get the Hurricanes on the board. Unfortunately, this was not enough as the Arcs prevailed.
Final Score: Brush 3, Brooklyn 1.
The girls will look to bounce back tonight as they travel to Fairview for this Chagrin Valley Conference matchup. The start time is at 6:30.
