After halftime the Big Green returned to the field, ready to equalize. In the end, the Taft goalkeeper made some big saves and thwarted off the Big Green opportunities to score. At the final whistle, the score remained 1-0 in favor of the home side.
The Big Green midfield including; Sammie McKee ‘24, Fife McCargo ‘23, and Jazmine Irizarry ‘23 did a great job of executing the game plan for Big Green.
