Game Details - Girls Soccer

Kristen Moss scored a goal with 18 seconds left to force overtime, and then assisted on the winning goal in overtime as Layton edged Syracuse in a critical Region 1 game. “The key for the win was that the girls battled hard and never gave up. The defense worked to limit Syracuse’s runs to goal and then our outside backs turned and ran up the line to help generate offense up front. The team stayed with the build up and continued to fight for the equalizer and it came with 20 seconds left,” said Layton coach Tara Ferrin. Scoreless at halftime, a scoring spree unfolded in second half, with goals by Syracuse's Hailiey Bott and Taylee Hughes gave their team the 2-1 lead late in the game. With 18 seconds remianing though, Moss found the back of the net just before the final whistle so send the game into overtime. Moss later assisted the game winning goal by Amelia Smith in overtime. “[The team] knew in OT that it only takes one shot to win so they worked hard to stop any potential shots for Syracuse and when we had a chance, we capitalized on our shot,” said Ferrin. Layton moves to a 5-2 record in region play, while Syracuse drops to 4-3.
