IAC GIRLS' SOCCER: NOTRE DAME AND WAVERLY PLAY TO A TIE (22 PHOTOS) (2021-09-18)

Southern Tier Sports Report
SOUTHPORT — Notre Dame and Waverly always seem to be low-scoring, tight battles in girls’ soccer.

Friday night was no exception. Through regulation and overtime, neither team was able to score, leading to a scoreless tie.

“I thought we played well in moments,” Notre Dame coach Joe Picco said. “We seemed to be in their end the majority of the game. I have to do a better job in helping them tactically, how to break those last lines of defenders.”

Notre Dame had seven shots and two corner kicks in the game and Waverly had five shots and one corner kick.

“We were slow and quiet to start,” Waverly coach Tara Hogan said. “It took a long time for us to get our bearings and settle down. A lot of the time we didn’t realize that we had more time/space than we thought. We found ourselves rushing the passes and not taking the time to make smart passes. This resulted in a lot of extra work for us.

“The teams were pretty evenly matched. Goalie Lea Cole had the best game of our season so far. She was confident and made some really impressive saves. I’m really proud how how she stepped up tonight.’

The two will get another matchup later this season at Waverly.
