Girls Varsity Soccer Loses Close Match vs Choate

The KO girls faced Choate today at home in a Founders league match. Choate came in with only 2 losses and close to the top of the league. KO was up for the task, defending well and frustrating Choate’s attack. KO was able to maintain some possession and create chances due to the midfield of Mackenzie Cahill, Eliana Beakal, Naya DeMelo, and Soifa Guerrera. Unfortunately a mix up in the back created an own goal putting Choate in front 1-0 toward the end of the second half. Choate doubled their lead on a corner kick right before halftime. KO’s defense held strong in the second half, not allowing any significant scoring chances. Gianna Guerrera, Giuliana Fuzzard, Nadia Silmon, Analeigh Sayesith, and Arianna Salek were outstanding, thwarting their 2 forwards for the last 40 minutes. Meanwhile, Maliyah Douglas, Ali Hogan, and Olivia Adamowicz pressed Choate’s defense periodically but were only able to get 2 shots on goal in the second half.Despite the 2-0 loss, KO put up a strong fight and stayed competitive throughout the match. KO next travels to an undefeated and top ranked Westminster on Friday. KO will be up for the challenge.
