For the first time this season, stoppage time was
good for Chuckey-Doak.
Brittany Dingus scored a late goal to give the
Lady Knights a 2-1 win Tuesday over visiting University High.
The game
was even with the UH's Bettina Chirica scoring off a defensive error in the 15th minute for the only
goal of the first half.
The second half saw a change in momentum. The
score was still in favor of University High until the 78th minute when C-D was awarded a direct
kick. Senior Victoria Baldwin blistered the ball on target. The Junior keeper got a hand on the ball
but was unable to secure it, and Nadareh Naseri buried the rebound into the net to tie the match.
Just when the game appeared it would end in a 1-1 draw, C-D was awarded
another direct kick, and this time senior Emily Adams took it. The free kick was won by Margaret
Berry who lobbed the ball over the UH defensive line, and Dingus calmly took a touch setting up the
game winner and placed the ball into the opposite corner of the net for the 2-1 Lady Black Knight
win.
Defensively, Rachel Goddard was the leader for C-D, stopping the
Junior Lady Buc attack time after time while Kelly White, Eunice Nunez, Brooke White and Kaylen
Butcher were solid in support.
C-D goalkeeper Ariel Norton ended the
night with 11 saves.
"If anyone has kept up with us this season they
know stoppage time has not been good for us.," said coach Anna Ricker. "I am so proud to finally see
these young ladies play until the final whistle, never giving up, never letting up and earning a
hard fought win. Every girl contributed to this victory with 100 percent
effort."
The Lady Black Knights, 7-6-2 overall, 2-1-1 in the district,
are home for two games next week: Tuesday versus Morristown East at 5 p.m. and Senior Knight
Thursday versus Daniel Boone at 5 p.m.
