A Player down Gators fight hard

Already a small squad, Brimmer stepped onto the field a player down in their matchup against Waring on Tuesday. Even with this setback, Brimmer rose to the occasion and played a solid first half, scoring 6 of their 10 overall goals. Leading the charge was senior Sophia Gomez’19, answering the first Waring goal, just seconds following, with a goal of her own. She ended the first half with three goals, matched by junior attacker, Sade Latinwo ‘20. On the other side of the field, Chloe Cochener ‘19stepped her play, encouraging her defensive teammates and fighting hard to stave off the strength and agility of Waring's offense, saving 7 out of the 9 goals scored in the first half. Down a player, Brimmer had to adjust their zone defense, and support a teammate new to the game, Haleigh Jacobs, who stepped up to the plate helping the defense keep Waring at bay. Ayanna Jefferson ‘22and Naila Silmi ‘19held strong, anchoring the defense while adjusting to the fast-paced attack which challenged the balance and strength of their defense. Rebecca Calhoun ‘19consistently found openings for goalie clears, scooped ground balls with agility and ease and helped transition the ball many times to the offensive end. The attacking midfield, Molly McHugh ‘21and Angeline Nur ‘21, worked hard to pick up ground balls in the midfield, transition the ball from defense to offense and even provided much-needed back up behind the net for wide shots and dropped passes. Additionally, Hannah Ahearn ’20 worked hard to make opportunities for shots on goal, feeding the ball to teammates in shooting position and passing the ball around the offensive end. Although Brimmer did not walk away with a win against the consistently strong Waring team, they look forward to their next matchup against them on Tuesday, April 30 at home.
