Brandon Cup Game #3

It was the Warriors that stormed back in the second half, as they too would score on their first shot on goal. Their goal was a weird one, as it seemed as though the players on the field all stopped, perhaps thinking a whistle blew. Unfortunately one had not, so the goal was allowed and the Hawks lead was down to 2-1. The Warriors would only get one more shot on net, and they would convert on this one as well, on a slow kick that went off of the keepers hands and into the net, make it a new game with a 2-2 score. Between the two teams, there was only two more shots on goal over the remainder of the game, and both of them came off the foot of the Hawks attackers. Thankfully for the Hawks their second shot ended up finding a way into the back of the net, though not in the way that one would normally expect. The shot on goal wasn't a bad one, but it likely would have been stopped by the Warriors keeper had the ball made it through to her. Unfortunately for the Warriors, one of their defensive players got a foot on the ball and essentially kicked into her net for an own-goal. Certainly not the outcome they wanted, but it was one the Hawks were happy with. That would be the final goal of the game, giving the Hawks a 3-2 win, their first victory of the Brandon Cup!
