this was kind of a gut check for us in terms of our team identity and our worths,”Hoosac Valley coach Molly West said.”They doubled Emma Meczywor, so other girls truly stepped up today, simply in lots of little ways to take the pressure off of Emma. Ashlyn Lesure type of took control of for us.”With Meczywor drawing protective attention on

the majority of ownerships, Lesure understood the weight of the moment and rose to satisfy it.”Seeing Emma get face protected actually the entire game, I knew that I had to step up, but I wouldn’t have the ability to score those goals if it wasn’t for Emma winning those draws for us, since she killed down the draw today,”Lesure said.Kalli White led the charge for Granby(3-3) with five goals, proving nearly impossible to include once she discovered her rhythm in the third quarter during the Rams comeback.

Anthony Roberts Meczywor’s unselfish play and field vision showed simply as important as her scoring on Friday afternoon.” Providing an excellent pass to Ashlyn, Reagan, or Maryn, it’s just as cool to see them score as much as them giving me a pass to score,”Meczywor said.Coming out of the break, Hoosac remained hot.
