How It Happened
Senior night started with early pressure from the visiting Bobcats, however the Golden Eagles would settle down and control possession for much of the first half.
Â
The Golden Eagles had plenty of scoring opportunities but were unable to find the back of the net. The first half would end in a scoreless tie.
Â
After the halftime senior day festivities, it was back to business in the second half. Kaylee Hensley made the first of her multiple amazing saves on the night. With a streaking Frostburg striker coming in hot, Hensley came off her line and made a beautiful kick save. .
Â
A few minutes later Sydney Cavender pulled off a spectacular move to get around a defender and find the back of the net while falling on her back. The goal would put the Golden Eagles up 1-0 early in the second half. She was assisted by fellow senior Roberta Pomi.
Â
A few minutes later, Frostburg would threaten again, sending a long ball into the box. Kaylee Hensley made a great play to save the first shot, then on the rebound Hensley dove full extension to keep Frostburg off the board.
Â
The second goal came in the 70
th minute off the right foot of freshman Audrey Miller. She got a pass on the right wing from Kiera Hill and launched a shot from about 25 yards out. She would just sneak it past the goalkeeper from Fairmont.
Â
The two goals would be all it would take to finish senior day with a win. The seniors honored have put in tons of hours into perfecting their craft and making UC a wonderful place to be.
Â
A big shoutout is due to all 12 seniors: Kaylee Hensley, Kassandra Demps, Katy O'Reilly, Lotte Bovy, Alex Speight, Jess Seaton, Kate Eddy, Keira Hill, Roberta Pomi, Madison Hansen, Balie Destefano, and Sydney Cavender. Thank You.
