Herkimer Steals the Win

Last Wednesday our Herkimer Generals women’s soccer team traveled to face off against the Saints of North Country Community College.  The Saints started the game off very strong scoring two goals within the first ten minutes.  This put our ladies in unfamiliar territory as they continued to fight from behind in the first half.  But Herkimer played with passion and pride as they relentlessly pressed on throughout the match.  It was at the 29 minute mark that Herkimer freshman forward #7 Jenna Rogers (Port Leyden, NY) scored the Generals’ first goal, assisted by #15 Hannah Taylor (St. Johnsville, NY) which brought the halftime score up to 2-1, Saints over Generals.

Coming into the second half down by one, the Generals had to dig deep and find the necessary grit to claim momentum of the game.  They were successful as the Herkimer defense held the Saints' score at 2 while the offense was able to put away two more goals leaving the final score 3-2, Generals over Saints.  The final two goals were scored by #2 Alexis Ramos (Utica, NY) assisted by #11 Danielle Charland (Chateaugay, NY); and the second goal by #11 Charland assisted by #10 Grace Johnson (Tully, NY)

#3 Herkimer Generals 3, North Country Saints 2.
