“They’re playing against girls three years older than them, it’s really hard. “They’ve definitely improved a lot and obviously at the beginning of the season they’re not going to be as comfortable,” said Spaulding. “It’s a huge ask of them to come up with the minutes they play and then come up with draw controls the way they did today,” said Maki of the freshmen, “but they’ve done it for us all season and it was good to see them break out of that freshmen first tournament game experience and really kind of shine today.” Tarsala and freshman Kate Stone (3 goals) also had more success winning 50-50 balls as the game progressed. “I’m one of the oldest on the team right now.”Īfter struggling on the draw early in the game, Spaulding made some adjustments.
“I wanted to make it just as far this year (after a trip to the 2021 sectional semifinals), so I knew I had to step up,” said Spaulding. “She’s done it for us all season as far as being our foundation offensively and she’s gotten players better around her, that’s the true meaning of a captain and a leader.” “Is it even possible to fill those shoes? Charlotte, her feet are growing and she’s really fitting into those shoes. “Coming into this season, we graduated Sarah Irish (176 career goals), who was a phenomenal player here for four years and there was a big question mark,” said Maki. Spaulding answered by shepherding five consecutive Sailor points with four goals and an assist on freshman Kate Tarsala’s second goal of the day. In the second half, Falmouth scored three consecutive goals to cut its deficit to 14-12.
