The HFFH is continuing to persevere in October by playing better and better each game! On Saturday, the HFFH played their rivals, the Devils of Huntington in a nail biting match! Huntington had much improved, showing their skills by scoring first in the first half! This did not deter the tornadoes for they came right back and scored making the score tied at 1-1. The score remained tied for the rest of the game and the two teams were forced to play in overtime! However, Katie DeNicola scored the game winning goal within the first 5 minutes of OT-- making her player of the game! Sam Gray and Caroline Saros had a lot of playing time in the game and the girls really showed the caliber of their team skill.
On Monday, HFFH faced Ward Melville in probably one of the best games of the season! The Patriots are a very skilled team, but the HFFH really out played and stood out in the game. The defense was poised and composed, the attack was skillfill and worked very cohesively as a team. Unfortunately, the HFFH lost 1-0, but the score was not reflective of the game. Despite the "loss", the coaching staff felt that the HFFH truly won that game. Allie Gold was named player of the game -- her skills and moves were jaw dropping and extremely pivotal to the girls overall success.
On a side note: I would like to say that our defense had a great game. Steph Zamow was patient, calm and poised and cleared the ball out of the circle with hard hits. Junior Captain Isabelle Wechsler stood out as an attacking back, moving the ball and staying strong in the back. And Senior Kelly Malico was a brick wall. Any Ward Melville player who approached her was immediately stopped by Kelly's natural ability in the back field.
Congrats girls on a job well done! Move up move on and forward!
