One look at Coach Beatie’s face at the half told the story pretty clearly. His team was not performing like they were capable of, and the 0-0 scoreboard confirmed that conclusion. The girls got the message and stepped it up in the second half.
Coach Beattie told WestportLocalPress, “It was a pretty dominant game through the first half and the majority of second half. In possession we were very much in control but we didn’t create as many clear chances as we’d have liked given the amount of possession.” We had two good chances in the first half (Neave Mulvey & Alexa Van Aken) but missed them both.
Beattie said, “The second half we came out with way more fire and Wilton couldn’t live with it. Our high pressure paid off with a great goal from Addie Talbott who dribbled around the keeper to score after an assist by Emme Dorfman on the wing.”

With about 3 mins to go, momentum swung to Wilton and they had 3 great shots on goal but Evelyn Bory was amazing and stopped all of them for a well deserved shutout.
