“I was, like, ‘Uh, Oh'”, said Anika B-G, about the fact that Camp Whipporwill scored a goal on Camp MacCready, only 14 seconds into yesterday’s soccer game. “But I knew, if we put it together, we could still win!”
And put it together, MacCready did, tying the score at one, later in the first half, and twice more coming back to tie, before Whipporwill took the victory, 5-3, on their home field.
Abby had several nice saves in goal and Talia, Ali V and Anika scored the goals for a MacCready team that was comprised of a mix of experienced players, and newcomers to the game. “Some of the kids had never played before, including our goalie,” said Nora, “but it was fun teaching them.”
Knowing that the other team had spent time practicing, Anika felt that “we played very well, and worked well as a team, considering we were just thrown together.”
