UV and OV fall in close games

WINDSOR – Winning their second straight game, the Norwich Lady Tornado soccer game scored seven goals in back-to-back games to win 7-2 against the Windsor Black Knights Monday afternoon.

Norwich head coach Doug Coggins state that it was a much closer game than the score showed against the much improved Windsor team.

“You have to give a lot of credit to the Windsor coach,” said Coggins. “The head coach has put a good group of girls together who are fast and aggressive.”

With the Purple Tornado’s slow start defensively – both back line and midfielders – the Black Knights came away some clean, easy looks at the goal.

Once the Norwich team began to pick up the pace, forward Sydney Coggins opened the scoring with a near-post shot that went between two defenders and into the goal. The Tornado finished with four goals for the night – increasing her season total to 11.

Adding goals of their own were Sara Davis, Emily Davis and Taylor McCarthy.

Sara Davis received a ball from senior teammate Katie Gawronski and finished the play with a nice shot. Emily Davis’ solo run ended with far post placed ball for her goal scored.

Using her power, McCarthy took a dead ball from 30 yards out and fired it into the back of the net.
