Fall 2005 Games 6-8
The Scotch Plains Blue Sharks U14 Girls intercounty team entered the week with one goal-to somehow play its last three regular season games by the deadline of October 23, which given the weather and shortness of day was no easy challenge.
Playing at the non-traditional times of 3:30 PM on a weekday and Friday night, they were able to accomplish their goal and managed to win two of three games to finish the regular season at 5-2-1. At press time, it was unknown whether this was good enough to make the playoffs.
On Wednesday, the Sharks had their second highest scoring output of the season in a 4-0 win. Amanda Rodriguez scored the only goal of the first half and Jessica Feeley, Kara Gaynor and Rebecca DiGiacomo added second half goals. Melissa McKenna played goalie and notched her fifth shutout of the season.
After a heartbreaking 1-0 defeat against a tough Clark squad Friday night, the Sharks bounced back to defeat Westfield 2-0 at South Side Firehouse Field in Scotch Plains, Sunday. Nikki Hodulik hard shot in the first half and Emily Cohen’s long high shot in the second half provided the margin of victory as McKenna completed her sixth shutout. The team has yielded only six goals this season, a testament to a strong defense.
Other standouts not previously mentioned included Annie Rubin, Alyssa Young .Sarah Lazarus, Giulia Mercuri, Sarah Weber, Dominique Osterman, Jessica DiGiacomo, Lauren Buckley, Lauren Berk, Toni Ann Capece and Erin Brown...
