Score:
Abington 2
Upper Dublin 2
OT

After a stroke was called in the first quarter against us, putting us down 1-0 at the 9:04 mark of the first quarter, our team was able to keep their heads up and answer on a corner at the 4:25 mark of the 1st quarter to tie the game. Addie Harrington was able to connect on a pass sequence from Maeve Link and Brooke Dougherty, which tied the game. It was a beautiful goal and allowed us to realize there was still a lot of hockey to be played. Abington's Maeve Link then connected for a goal in the 2nd quarter, off a pass from Addie Harrington during another corner, putting us up 2-0. This score held until about 2 minutes left in the game, where UD came back and tied the game. Despite an offensive push from our team at the end of the 4th quarter, we went to OT.
Each team had some great looks and opportunities in OT, and Abington even converted on a corner, but it was called back. After a very evenly matched 10 minutes, the game ended in a tie.
It was a great game and lots of great field hockey was played today. Both teams never let down their momentum and left everything on the field. UD's goalie made some key saves, and our goalie, Keely Gallagher, made 7 saves to help us preserve the tie.
I was really proud of the girls today. Everyone stepped up and played their hearts out. Our team has been working hard to improve some things at practice and that was evident in our play today.
