HFFH vs Ward Melville

Good evening! So tonight the HFFH team played 3rd seated Ward Melville, and unfortunately, the outcome was not as we had expected. Though it is easy to say "we had an off game", the truth of the matter was that yet again, the score was not reflective of the girls play. This was not only seen by the coaching staff but by the referees as well who commended us and said that the score did not reflect the girls abilities. Coming into this game, we were aware of the challenges that we were going to face. We did not have home advantage, in addition that we played on grass turf, a surface that we rarely get to practice. We have some injuries and illnesses to players who have impacted our team and we were just unfortunate to not get the opportunities we worked so hard to get to. But we don't make excuses. We learn from our play, we move on and forward and we are ready to take the Patriots on again when they come to our field in October. And next time, we will be on top ! ( I'm always optimistic). On a positive note, the girls played well- putting pressure to the ball and dominating the majority of the game. Also, everyone at the game got to see playing time!

So I realized tonight that we have not been on-top of our player of the game tradition. For those who are not aware of what we do, the coaching staff nominates a player each game who we feel is the player of the game. Let's look back at our last few games...

Bayport Bluepoint: Katie DeNicola
Centereach- Taylor Weiss
Sayville- Isabelle "Wex" Wechsler
Ward Melville: Claudia Maimone

Congrats Claudia on making player of the game! Your skills were strong and you were a leader on the field =)
