JV Girls' Wildcats lose home game against Proctor

Peter Alden
This blustery and cold Saturday afternoon didn't quite end up the way the girls wanted it to in their third matchup against Proctor Academy, but they went down fighting to the very end, even scoring the final point with less than 5 minutes to go. It was a nice pass inside the box from Nikita Giguere to Shoshi Parodneck, who chipped the ball over the Proctor goalie's head to score her first goal of the season.  The other goal was scored by Aiyonna Gay who shot it from her favorite spot, 10 yards from the right side of the goal, a hard shot that the Proctor goalie couldn't hang onto.  On their end of the field, the Wildcat girls had trouble containing the much bigger and deeper Proctor players, yielding four scores, including two in the first half.  With just 11 players available, the girls still chose to play 35 minutes halves.  Any type of fatigue due to the lack of subs didn't seem to show on these Wildcats because they played with the same intensity throughout the game.  By the conclusion, some of the girls lay on the turf nursing their sore ankles.  The fighting spirit of this group of Wildcat girls will not subside as they prepare for the final matchup of the season against New Hampton next Saturday.
