KUA falls to St. Pauls, 2-0

er
Despite skilled possession play throughout the game and a number of dnagerous balls served into the visitors 18, the home team Wildcats were unable to find the back of the net and came out on the losing end of a 2-0 hard fought battle. KUA's back four held strong all day against a speedy St Paul's attack. Keeper Olivia Brooker handled a number of crosses and one dangerous rebound before an unmarked St Paul forward found herself alone inside the 12 with time to slot the ball home. The game was played mostly between the 18s with both teams exchanging possession and through ball attempts. The field seeemed to be tilting in KUA's favor as the clock in the second ticked down. With its midfield and attacking wingers caught up field, a sudden counter attack by St Paul's with 6 minutes remaining resulted in a goal and 2-0 lead. The KUA girls fought hard the final few minutes to cut the lead back to one, but still the visiting team held strong. KUA (4-2) returns to action Friday at home against Holderness.
