Wyverns Shut Out the Cats in Cheshire on Monday Night

The KO girls traveled to Cheshire today to face Cheshire Academy in hopes of getting back in the win column after 2 straight losses.This was a complete team performance for KO from start to finish, with everyone working together. KO outshot Cheshire 8-1 in the first half while getting on the board first after Nadia Silmon found Olivia Adamowicz on the flank who then passed the ball across the goal mouth where Maliyah Douglas tapped it in for a 1-0 lead. The second half was more of the same–unselfish soccer with great communication. Maliyah was able to score again with an incredible shot that somehow beat the goalkeeper at a difficult angle. That was all KO needed as they defeated Cheshire Academy 2-0 improving their record to 5-4-3. Goalkeepers Penelope Ahern and Lizzie Raccio secured another shutout with the help of defenders Giuiana Fuzzard, Gianna Guerrera, Nadia Silmon, and Analeigh Sayesith. Naya DeMelo controlled the midfield with help from Mackenzie Cahill and Ari Salek. Freshman Sofia Guerrera played her best game in her young career in both offensive and defensive roles. Olivia and Ali Hogan gave the Cheshire Academy defense fits by outworking them. KO hosts Hopkins on Wednesday in hopes of securing their 6th win of the season.
