Fall 2003 Game 6 (1-0)
One week after having their multi year unbeaten streak snapped the Gold Rush, a Scotch Plains U11 girls soccer team rebounded with the type of defensive performance that had been responsible for their success and apparently catapulted themselves back into the playoffs with a 1-0 upset win over the first place Red Storm Saturday at Park Middle School.
Goalies Eve Rosenheck and Jessica Moore combined for the shutout and were greatly aided by a game saving play by fullback Sarah Lazarus who kicked what would have been the tying goal out of the goal in the game’s waning minutes. Caoimhe Harold scored the only goal of the game when she took Christine Murphy’s flick of an Isabel Crystal corner kick and deposited a hard low shot past the goalie ten minutes into the second half.
With Memorial Field once again unplayable the teams used the spacious confines of a Park Middle School field that had been used for a High School state tournament game the day before. It required considerable extra running for the Gold Rush halfbacks Harold , Brooke Bergenfeld,Allison Staniec, Alyssa Laki, Anna McGuinness and Amanda Rodriguez. The fullback corps of Lazarus, Christina Bobyack,Moore, Laura Wright, Jaclyn Friedman and Donna Amore were unyielding.
