Leland sophomore Lily Connor received a free kick from senior goal keeper Ellie Miller right after she made a ridiculous one handed save to keep the game tied. Connor handled the pass and dribbled past several Harbor Springs defenders and snuck a goal past the Rams’ to put the Comets up 1-0 halfway through the second frame.
This would prove to be the game-winner as the Comets improve to 9-0 on the regular season. The Rams now have a record of 8-2.
“We played our best soccer of the season so far … It was a playoff atmosphere, every possession counted but our girls stepped up,” Leland coach Joe Burda said. Harbor Springs came out really aggressive. I think we had to match their aggression but we did and we played some really solid technical soccer.”
