Scrimmage against Half Hollow Hills

Wasn't today the most beautiful day? I don't think the girls could have had a better day to have a game ! Today the HFFH teams, both Varsity and JV played against Half Hollow Hills. Normally in a scrimmage, the coaches officiate the game, in that the game isn;t officials and refs usually don't come. However, the girls were very lucky today to get 2 refs, (and might I add they were very well trained refs) to ref our game. Half Hollow Hills also has a turf facility so it was very enjoyable to play on such a nice surface.

The girls played 2 30 minute halves and every girl got some playing action! In the first half, the HFFH scored two goals- the first by Senior Colleen Morgan and the second by Freshmen Taylor Miltner! The tornadoes had over 5 penalty corners and took over a dozen shots on goal.

In the second half, the tornadoes put the ball in the net two additional times. Senior Erin Slutter tenaciously placed the ball in the goal in the begging of the second half. The fourth and final goal was scored by sophomore Taylor Weiss who tipped the ball into the net of a pass from Daniele Miltner!

We ended the scrimmage by doing a stroke off series. Ten girls from each team took a stroke on goal.
From Harborfields, Isabelle Wechsler, Katie DeNicola, Colleen Morgan, Daniele Miltner, Caroline Saros, and Sam Gray all made their stroke. Kaitlin Cassar also put the ball behind the net, but because she was not wearing her mouth guard at the time of stroke, the ref issued her a green card and her stroke was void. This was a great learning experience for the girls to also make sure that they are properly equipped.


If you were able to come and watch the game, you could see that this game was a great help in preparation for the rest of our season! Our next game will be this Friday at Harborfields at 4pm vs. Centereach.

Animal House!
