Just before the end of the half Lacy Hardaway ’11, got a breakaway. All the girls on the bench stood up with anticipation as she entered the box and the goalie came out to meet her. e goalie dove at Hardaway’s feet and grabbed onto the ball, causing Hardaway to trip over her. e whistle blew and the girls came off the field, holding their sides. “Something happened in the midfield in the past few minutes and you guys just took over,” Henbest said at halſtime as the girls panted heavily, taking long drinks of water. “One more goal and they won’t be feeling so easy.” ey got their goal.

Hardaway was running back to the center of the field surrounded by all of her teammates, who were giving her hugs and high fives. e score was 3-6, and though chances were slim, they were back in the game. As they started to play again, a foul was called just outside the box, and Kilkenny took the kick. Screams erupted again from the field as the shot soared into back of the net. 6-4 Ponderosa.

Four goals, but still not enough
The girls walk off the field slowly and grab their waters, murmuring “good job” and “you played well” to one another as they all sit down near the bench, waiting for their coaches to speak. “I know I don’t look like it, but I’m happy with that game,” Mat Hen-best, the head coach, said. “The attitude and the play-making ability; that makes me happy.” A little under two hours earlier, the girls started their game against Ponderosa High School.
