 The second half of the game continued with a stellar performance from Pamela as goal keeper.  Both teams continued their quest for a goal but it was Beverly who struck first, scoring on a penalty shot six minutes into the half to tie up the game 1-1.  Annie Ryan and Hannah had some strong defensive moves to keep the ball out of Marblehead’s end.  The excitement grew with both teams eager to take the lead but after a long fought battle between the two, the game ended in a tie 1-1.
