Masuk Free Press

Masuk girls soccer ended their game in a 0 – 0 tie Tuesday, Oct. 10 in a senior night matchup against the Joel Barlow Falcons. 

The night started early with Masuk seniors, Gianna Convertito, Sara Crespo, Mia Morelli, Marise Klutch, Erin Davis, and Hannah Dorney, being introduced and walking out with their families. Speeches written in rhymes followed for each of the senior panthers.

 At 7:00 the game started with a bang. Both teams came out aggressive and proved that this would be a very physical game. Just 5:17 into the game, junior goalkeeper Kaela Christiano made a save. The next five minutes once again showed the forceful dynamic of the game with multiple fouls from both teams. 

At 10:10 into the half, senior captain Hannah Dorney took a very strong shot on goal. 25 seconds later, Dorney takes another shot in the form of a corner kick. At 16:36 goalkeeper Christiano makes a sliding save. This is the start of a shift in the game, the Panthers playing more on the defense for the next ten minutes. With 8:40 left in the half, junior Kylie Hurme takes a shot on goal. The half ended without a goal for either team. 

The Panthers came back in the second half with renewed energy and picked the pace back up. Six minutes in, junior Brianna VanDerheyden took a shot on goal. This was followed, less than a minute later, with another shot from sophomore Ella McGee. 20 minutes into the second half, Dorney took two shots on goal, both falling short. 9:15 left in the game, senior captain Erin Davis took a shot on goal. The game ended in a 0 – 0 tie. 

Despite the tie, Masuk played strong and are ready to prove themselves in the next game. Come out and support Masuk at the ‘Kick Pink’ game against the Weston Trojans Tuesday, Oct. 17 in support of breast cancer awareness.
