The HKHS offense scored 9 goals in the first half and 4 more in the second to total 13 goals for the win.

The Wildcats were left chasing their tails as Junior Sophie Ramino forced 4 turnovers, stealing the ball from Lyme-Old Lyme’s possession.
Great game, Lady Cougars. Way to keep those sticks up, even in the rain!
