FDU

Wednesday morning, the team woke up and prepared for our sixth game of the season against FDU. We went onto the field and went through our standard warm up. The game began and we played with everything we had. The ducks scored on a pretty corner but were unable to hold the lead with less than ten minutes left in the game. The game went into overtime, down to two minutes and ten seconds when the referees had to stop the game for lightning! The coaches got together and decided to finish the game on Thursday afternoon.


Thursday morning crept by slowly as our thoughts were focused on the game to come. So the excitement only built when we learned that they have to start the game exactly where they left off, in the first overtime period with 2:10 left on the clock. Almost as soon as the first whistle was blown to restart the game, the announcer said, “only one minute remains in the first overtime period.” After the ducks got their initial jitters out, we came out strong in the second overtime. Within the first seven minutes, Stevens scored on a perfect corner sending FDU back on the bus home with a defeat 2-1!!
