Lady Spartan Played With Fire but Drop a Thriller

With a fury of attempts on goal within the last 10 minutes of the game, the Lady Spartans were unable to overcome an early second half goal by visiting North Country Lady Saints in an exciting season opener. Cayuga's defense play tough, lead by Captain Brooke Mayville (Wayne, NY) and Danielle Mayville (Wayne, NY), held a quick and aggressive North Country attack to a 0-0 score line after the first half, with Brooke Mayville saving a certain goal of the line with her chest. The Saints were able to break down Cayuga's stellar defense on a goal 5 minutes in the second half of a corner kick.

After the game first year Coach Robie Robillard had this to say, "The ladies played amazing, with great fire and passion. Defensively we stayed strong and made it very hard for North Country to penetrate to goal. Offensively we struggled a bit but they never gave up and they were able to produce a few great chances. We got good efforts from our freshman Martha Caster (Auburn, NY) and Brooke Laukaitis (Fulton, NY)"

Captain Bre Becker (Lusby, MD) had a solid game with 14 saves and was a great leader in the back.
