East Women's Soccer Defeats Wakefield On Penalty Kick in Double Overtime

After several missed opportunities from both teams throughout the game, East was able to prevail 1-0 on a penalty kick goal by Farrell Sweeney in the second period of double overtime. When asked what was going through her mind before the penalty kick, Sweeney said she felt that, "[She] had to make it." The penalty was drawn by Olivia Veneziano, who was pushed by a Wakefield in the box. Sweeney had this to say of the team's performance: "Everyone did what they needed to do individually to come out with the win." With the victory East advances to the third round of state playoffs playing Broughton High School on Wednesday, May 18 at home, start time to be announced.
