Rye came on late, getting off eight quality shots in the last 18 minutes of the game. Head coach Rich Savage said, “This game was important because the team realized the expectations for each game.”
Before the next game against regional power North Rockland September 12, Hijazi broke her clavicle and back-up keeper Kelly Barnhardt suffered a concussion. Savage moved senior co-captain and four-year starting defender Kelly McRedmond into the nets, and she willed the Garnets to victory at Rec Rec, 2-1.
The midfield play of Vania Ludman, Kate Whiston, and Catherine Livingston was a major key to the victory. Carter Lahey, too, did an excellent job of creating many scoring opportunities for herself on the outside.
North Rockland’s goal midway through the second half put real pressure on Rye. Rachel Egan did an outstanding job filling in as Rye’s last defender (a job usually handled by McRedmond), giving herself a birthday present with a win in the bargain. Speedy Rita Futamura did well all game long at outside right.
Savage was tired but happy after the game. “Both on the field and bench, it was an excellent team effort.”
The Garnets are now 2-2 after beating Valhalla 2-1 and losing to Arlington 3-0.
