Poughkeepsie Day School gave our team the toughest challenge yet and it was only in the last few minutes of the game that Hudson waltzed in to the opposing team's area with the ball at his feet and coolly slotted the winning goal past a bewildered goalkeeper. The score now at 3-2 in Dutchess Day School's favor was to remain the final score.
We started the game very brightly and Kayleigh was creating havoc on the right flank. Time and time again she crossed the ball only for the Poughkeepsie goalkeeper to pluck gratefully out of the air. Those balls that eluded his clutching hands seemed to stay miraculously away from our eager forwards. Both Caleb and Sebastian were constantly frustrated as the ball passed tantalizingly close!
Our first goal was the result of a handball in the penalty area and Griffin stepped up to dispatch the ball low to the keeper's left....1-0! Immediately, Poughkeepsie responded and from a direct free kick floated the ball through Danielle's outstretched hands... 1-1! Soon after, we were 2-1 down as a resurgent Poughkeepsie team capitalized on some unusual sloppy defending on our part. Overall though, Roan, Christian,Golf, Alexa and Jon had very good games.
Not before too long, we were level with Sebastian turning on the ball to score a nice goal in off the far post. Cooper buzzed workmanlike in midfield with Griffin continuing to look for the opportunity to unleash one of his blockbusting shots at goal. However, it was left to Hudson's impressive coolness to seal the victory for DDS. Our next game is one week away on Thursday November 1st against Steiner School.
