MHC Dish From the Pitch 2014 Week 7 | Page 9

As the half was waning, Hannah “Montana” Fortier nearly scored two goals for the Ravens, having both narrowly deflected by the Terror goalie.

At the half, Swick Tech 3-2 (11) and Comfort Keepers 0-0 (0).

The next half began with Swick Tech extending their lead as Hobbes showed his skill at goal scoring once again. With the lead building, the Ravens looked to go on the offensive. Wolverine flashed his claws with some deft solos, needing a super-hero block from Pickles to deny a first score from the Comfort Keepers. Strong defense made scoring a premium in this quarter. The Ravens half back tandem of Anthony “Toes” and Wozniak and Matthew “Talker” Corr kept the sliotar away from the goal the rest of the quarter. The Terror defense was also a fortress, partly due to defensive will of Caleb “Bruiser” Fortier. Swick Tech 4-2 (14) and Comfort Keepers 0-0 (0).

The final act started with the Ravens placing Aidan “Bones” Chojnacki and Angel playing mid and forward in an attempt to break the scoring open. Angel started by attacking the Terror goalie, winning several possessions. Angel placed not one, but two points on the run through the uprights. The right side of the pitch was attacked throughout the quarter, the Ravens become more and more bold as time was slipping down. Finally, Bones scored two points in short order with continued attacks out of the midfield position. The Comfort Keepers knew that bold play was needed at the end of this match. With the Terror lead shrinking and the end of the game in sight, 7 took a long pass and zipped it passed three defenders to score a goal and ensure the Terror victory. The final score was Swick Tech 5-2 (17) and Comfort Keepers 0-4 (4).
