Game Details - Girls Soccer

A massive win for the Falcons today as they hand American Fork its first loss of the season. Skyridge had to fight tooth and nail for this win after starting strong with a 2-0 lead in the first half. But American Fork wouldn’t go down easily, as they fought back evening things up in the second half. Within the first two minuets of overtime Kylie Olsen got a wonderful pass from Annika Schavey and torched the back of the net for the golden goal, winning it for Skyridge. “We knew going into this game that we had our hands full. American Fork is a very talented group. We also knew that when we play as a team, staying true to our game plan, we can accomplish all of our goals. Today, our girls got the ball off of their feet, they patiently worked the ball through the middle when we could, and we were able to finish. American Fork didn't give up though, and they evened the score quickly in the second half. It was a back and forth battle in the heat, fighting through exhaustion, to end regulation tied. Two minutes into the first overtime period, Annika Schavey took the ball to the corner and quickly sent a hard ball across the top of the eighteen. Megan Hanson stepped to the ball at the top of the eighteen, drawing AF's defense. Instead of taking a hit, however, she stepped over the ball, letting it ride to a wide-open Kyle Olsen who was able to finish and end the game,” said Skyridge coach Toby Peterson.
