White Mountains out shot Colebrook the first half 8-3. Switching Lily Stinehour into the midfield seemed to pay off for the Spartans as she show- cased solid distribution. Keeping the Mohawks in the game were front runners Nakea Cross and Michaela Biron who continually showed that big green was always just one step away from a break away. In the last minute before in- termission Biron took a solid crossing shot on the Spartan net, but keeper Ashley Gooden was on task for a nice save by pushing it over the net. The en- suing corner-kick proved hard to clear until Dani Chancey arose the hero from the Spartan defense to keep the game even. Just 1:30 into the second half the blue and white hosts came close with a crossing pass from Amber Bissonnette and a one- touch header by Lily McCabe, but the arch of the shot proved too steep. At 7:04 into the second Cross broke down the field for a hard shot on net, but an ac- tive Gooden grows no moss and made the save. White Mountains finally broke the game open with a netter at 28:17 left in the game. McCabe sent a perfect through ball past a defender up to Jill Rooney just inside the 18 who pivoted on her right foot for a one touch into the goal.
