Pardon the grainy photo 📷 off the computer 🖥 screen but it was needed to describe what just took place over at Smith River Soccer ⚽️ Park.
One night after playing Bassett on The Hill in the #8 – #9 game, Carroll County traveled across Lovers Leap to play #1 seed Magna Vista.
Add in that the Lady 👩 Cavaliers were playing back to back matches and doing so minus three starters versus the best team in our Region, properly setting the stage.
CCHS was down to their final seconds when Magna Vista was called for a Red Card inside the Box.
Ashlyn Newman proceeded to knot the game at 2-2 and it would stay that way throughout the entire overtime ritual. No Golden Goal for either squad eventually led to Penalty Kicks with Newman sliding into the net as the Keeper in hopes of extending her high school career. Newman has experience between the goal post, both early on and then in travel ball.
Even the PKs portion of the match ended in a 4-4 draw, sending it into Golden Goal format. The season would finally come to an end for the group I love to call The Battling Ben Tickles and tonight they did exactly that for just shy of three hours.
We have reached the point in the Spring season where everytime one of them laces up their cleats it could be for the final time and for the Seniors, truly the final time.
Baseball, Boys Soccer and Softball all take the diamond 💎 or Pitch tomorrow night. Let’s hope they can all represent 🙏 us as well as we were represented tonight !
Thank You once again, Ashlyn Newman, its been a tremendous four years !
