The Cougars defeated Churchill High School by the score of 3-1 on a rainy, soggy and cold Wednesday night. The Cougar fans were out in force despite the foul weather.
Churchill got out to the early lead on a goal from a corner kick that was headed in in the 2nd minute. The remaining 38 minutes of the first half saw both the Cougars and the Bulldogs moving the ball well around the midfield with both teams trying in vain to score. The score remained 1-0 at the end of the first half.
The second half saw the Cougars come to life and the scoring of Cougar goals commenced. In the 5th minute of the second half on an offside restart, a nice ball from Kayla Clarke found a running Leah Prentice who then pounded a blistering shot off the far post and into the back of the Bulldog net. The Cougar's 2nd goal came from the left foot of Leah Prentice again, her second of the evening, in the 21st minute with an assist to Yvonne Latour. The second goal set the Bulldogs back on their heels and the Cougars really dominated possession for the rest of the game. Ele Margelos scored the Cougars 3rd and final goal of the game from a "Corner Scrum" that the Churchill defenders just could not clear out of the box. Ele "snuck" in and blasted it home for the goal.
The Cougars defense was playing very well tonight as Heather, Margaret, Sami and Jenna shut down the Bulldog attack in the second half. A great late scoring opportunity by the Bulldogs was calmly saved by the on rushing Amanda Whitney who successfully closed down the angle and made a great save.
Congratulations to the Cougars, who with their teamwork, determination and persevearance, earned them a well deserved come from behind victory.
