But a minute later Kentridge responded with a goal of its own. Ella Schug teamed up with Shiney Mayanja with some good combination play to free up space for Schug to cross the ball from the left side of the pitch. Alexa Mora deflected the ball on goal, but the Mount Si keeper made a great save. Following the save the ball fell right at the feet of Jayda Sparksm who cashed in for her third goal in two games.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
“I’m glad we got one past them,” said Schug.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
“That’s always the response you want. Our energy picked up after we were down. I was hoping that energy would continue, but it was great to comeback on that,” Fleming said.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
In the second halfm the Wildcats seemed to have an answer for everything Kentridge was trying to do. The winning goal came just 12 minutes out of the halftime. Macie Harris drilled a shot that Charger goalkeeper Natividad got a piece of, but couldn’t keep it out of the goal.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
Kentridge just couldn’t find a glimmer of light until the game was out of reach. Even then, the Mount Si defense handled the Kentridge attack.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
“I think they had a really good back line. I’ll give credit to them, their backline is really good,” Schug said.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
The loss is a sour end for the Kentridge season, a team led by two Division 1 players in Sparks and Schug, who have done so much for the Charger program.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
“They’re awesome. I’ll miss coaching them, we’ll miss having them around. Jayda, Ella and all the captains including Addison. That’s the vibe. They carry the personality on this team, so we’ll miss them,” Fleming said.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
But not all is lost for Coach Fleming’s side. The Chargers graduated five seniors on a roster of 18. That holds a lot of promise for the future.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
“I think they’ll be ready to roll. We have a lot of juniors, starters coming back. We’ll be ready from the get-go,” Fleming said.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
This team had an impact even on the seniors.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
“I wouldn’t want to go to any other school. I love this team so much, they’re my best friends,” Schug said.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
