JV Girls' Wildcat Three Game Win Streak Broken by St. Paul's School

The JV Girl's three game win streak came to an end on a sunny Wednesday afternoon in a gutsy match against the St. Paul School Pelicans. They led 1-0 through much of the first half, but were unable to prevent multiple scoring opportunities by the feisty Pelicans as the game progressed.  Audrey Underhill scored KUA's lone goal midway through the first half on an excellent pass by teammate Brinley Dodge that found her open just 5 yards from the goal.  The Wildcats worked hard to keep the small lead by controlling the tempo of the game, using the touch line often and pushing the ball up the field.  However, the Pelicans fought back hard and began successfully pushing the ball down to the KUA side of the field more often, getting more scoring opportunities, including a penalty kick.  During the final few minutes of the game, team captain JC Bernard sustained an injury while driving hard to the Pelican goal that ended her game, but the Wildcats forged on with a few missed opportunities to reduce the Pelican lead.  The Wildcats are looking forward to another great matchup during Friday's afternoon game against Holderness.
