It took the KUA Wildcats a second to react but they soon began stepping up to ball and playing a strong possession game. The first goal of the came off of a well executed corner. Senior Storm Sideleau (Contoocook, NH) took a shot at the top of the circle and senior captain Alison Pollard (Meriden, NH) scored off the rebound, her first goal in her high school career! Seven minutes later, senior captain Hannah Madden (Manchester, NH) took a shot off of a corner and junior Maya Karosas (Stowe, VT) redirected it into the net. In the second half, Karosas scored again, this time unassisted. With four minutes to play, sophomore Kylie Shields (new Castle, NH) was able to push the ball over the line of a pass from Madden to make the final score 4-0.
