With Montreat falling behind 2-0 in the early part of the game, Amanda Solesbee was able to cut the lead by striking a beautiful free kick with eight minutes remaining in the half. That goal gave Solesbee her 50th career goal. Hannah Davidson tied the game on a tremendous header from a Solesbee corner kick. One example of Montreat’s determination to fight back came later in the game with the regulation period expiring; Montreat’s Kaitlyn Thacker charged out of the goal to defend a stray pass when the ball escaped her grasp and seemed to be heading ever so deliberately toward the Cavalier goal- when Hannah Davidson sprinted after it and cleared it out with a diving kick to keep it tied at two and send the game into overtime. “It’s always tough to lose on penalty kicks. It’s never the way you want to lose, but that’s the way it is. I am so proud of these ladies for not giving up to an early two goal deficit. It’s hard to fight back in a playoff game- but these girls deserve tons of credit for not panicking and playing their hearts out,” praised Coach Woerner, “Again, we had a wonderful season."
The Lady Cavs would like to thank all the students, faculty, staff, and Montreat community for the tremendous support throughout this 2007 season!
