Big Win on the Road in VA!

WOW...it was an amazing game against #7 ranked Washington and Lee. It was a tightly contested match with us taking a 5-4 lead at halftime. The second half we hit a bit of a lull and W&L stretched out the lead to 11-8 after being deadlocked at 8-8. Finding our selves down 12-9 with just a few minutes to go we rattled off 3 goals in the last 1:04 to tie the game with 3 seconds to go in regulation! Talk about exciting!!!! OT was a battle - back and forth with both teams registering a goal in the first OT to push things into sudden death. Rachel finally ended the drama with 30 seconds to go in the first sudden death overtime after an outstanding interception by defender Liz Bruno. It was a marathon of a game and an unbelievable comeback by the Bants! The coaching staff and parents in the stands were so PROUD of the effort we all witnessed on the field. It was an incredible game!

We are on the bus and headed back to Hartford to take on Colby this Saturday!
