Andes Girls Lost Overtime Heartbreaker
Contributed By John Bernhardt
There was no lack of excitement in Jefferson Thursday, as the Andes girls continued to play competitive and inspired soccer. The Lady Mountaineers, fresh off their championship in the Cohen Classic, battled the JayHawks through two overtimes before falling, 5-4, to the host team.
The game turned into a scoring shoot-out between Jefferson’s Katy Clayton and Andes Mariah Ruff. Both high flying forwards delivered hat tricks, scoring three goals apiece. It was Clayton’s final strike that proved to be the game winner with 4:11 to play in the first extra period.
Jefferson led the Mountaineers, 2-1, at halftime, but Andes outscored their hosts, 3-2, in the second half to send the game into the extra periods. Kaitlin Mackay tied the score at 4-4 with 13:30 to play in regulation time.
Chelsea Martin and Amy Thonnesan also scored for Jefferson.
Next up for Andes is South Kortright. The Lady Mountaineers will host SK on Monday, October 6.
