Exciting match between the New Hyde Park Cheetahs and the Locust Valley Fearless Falcons.
The Cheetahs started off to a slow start on this very early Saturday morning, though shortly sprung into action as they stepped up their game taking multiple shots on goal hitting crossbars and goalposts.
Samantha Bravo had many beautiful shots, Kassidy Keefe made amazing sideline runs and passes to center of the goal box and Andrea Waldron showed good control and passing of the ball.
Sabrina Rodrigues aggressively stayed on top her game taking terrific shots on goal as she held position well. Daniela O’Modie as midfielder, broke up plays and went to the ball to clear down the field.
Olivia Lappin, Kaitlyn Louie and Paulina Papadoniou on the defense marked their opponents closely, keeping them wide out to the sidelines.
Irene Krische in goal with endless amazing saves and rapid punts down the line.
Lauren Hessler in mid-field played very well coming off an injury. Kristina Horan and Julia Feldman focused & strong on the offense.
For most of the match, the game stayed at 0-0, until NHP Cheetah Samantha Bravo received a free direct kick just outside the penalty box and kicked a great high ball to the left side of the goal where the Falcon goaltender had no chance at saving the shot.
Amazing goal Samantha!
With less than two minutes remaining though, the Falcons were able to capitalize on a free kick themselves in the box to tie the match.
It was an exciting, thrilling game.
The Cheetahs played a great game.
Thank you to our Coaches, Mike, Gabe, Peter and Efi for your endless effort and to our friends and family for cheering the Cheetahs on.
Feel better Channing Woo.
