Wyverns Win Over the Wildcats

KO traveled to Rye, NY today to battle Rye Country Day School in hopes of getting back in the win column. KO was able to wrest possession away from RCDS immediately and create chances. In the 5th minute, KO was able to convert a well executed corner kick as Naya DeMelo connected with Sofia Guerrera who then deposited the ball to the corner just inside the post giving KO a 1-0 lead. Despite constant possession and play in their attacking third, KO could not find the back of the goal to increase their lead. Penelope Ahern and Lizzie Raccio both played goalkeeper in the first half with Lizzie only needing to make one save although it was impressive as she stopped a breakaway keeping the score 1-0 at halftime. KO continued to dominate the game as defenders Nadia Simon, Gianna Guerrera, Giuliana Fuzzard, Ari Salek, and Analeigh Sayesith only allowed one shot on goal that was easily handled. KO was able to take 11 more shots on goal but could not find that second goal despite some quality work by the attacking players. Naya DeMelo, Sofia, Mackenzie Cahill, and Eliana Beakal were able to control the midfield while Maliyah Douglas, Ali Hogan, Olivia Adamowicz, and Sydney St Clair put pressure on the RCDS defenders at will. KO improved to 6-5-4 and will play Greenwich Country Day School on Saturday in an important Class “B” matchup
