Radnor
Monday brings us to a new week, and our first away game of the season.
Both the A and B teams were in action against a continually improving Radnor team. First, the B team, or as they are now known, B7.
B Team
B7 took on Radnor B in a hard fought, back and forth game. Radnor B struck first and built up a 3-0 lead before B7 was able to get on the board. B7 scored two quick points and the teams traded points to half, with Radnor scoring to take the half 7-5. After half, B7 was able to take an 8-7 lead, before Radnor took the score to 12-10. With their backs against the wall in a game to 13, B7 tied the game just as the cap fell. The team fought hard, but a pass that was tipped twice, fell into the hands of a waiting Radnor player to win the game 13-12. The team as a whole played great, with Russell, Frenchie, Ellis, Savage, Colleen, and Blue playing especially well. In a unanimous vote, Eric was named MMP (Most Muddy Player.)
A Team
O'Hara Ultimate came into the game having never lost to Radnor and O'Hara knew they would need great play all around to keep that streak in tact.
The game started with Radnor jumping out to a 3-0 lead, as in the B Team game. However, it took a little while longer for the A team to bring it together. O'Hara Ultimate kept trying to institute a zone, while Radnor kept capitalizing on turnovers, taking half with a score of 8-5.
After half, O'Hara Ultimate came out flat and fell behind 11-6. The streak looked near end, but with a renewed defensive passion, and a refuse to lay-down attitude O'Hara Ultimate fought back. O'Hara Ultimate after falling down by 6, went on an 8-2 run to win the game. Highlights of the second half include Gunther running down a Curran miscue for a score, and two absolutely sick layouts by Szkud. The first, a great layout in the endzone for a goal that was contested (we scored on the next throw anyway) and a disgusting, one-handed, around-the-defender grab to set up the go-ahead point. The winning point featured everyone on the field playing a significant role on offense and defense to put together several turns, and a drive from our own goal line to win the game.
Big plays from Curran, Squared, Gunther, and Szkuds helped bring the team back. Henkel, Wilcox, Ginger, Katie, Sleeves, and Whitey all played solid games to contribute to the game. Tomorrow brings St. Joe's Prep into our home field and hopefully, another win.
