The press was on, and Lebanon threatened in the remaining minutes but could not pull even. The final score was 3-2, and Lebanon had been handed their second loss of the season.
On Sunday morning, Lebanon hosted Coventry in a highly anticipated rematch and this one lived up to the hype. Coventry struck first and the score stayed 1-0 until late in the first half when Roslynn Constant was able to find her cousin Norah Constant on a throw-in into the box. Norah's unexpected volley kick was out of reach for the keeper, and the score was even going into the half. The game would stay knotted as the rain steadily increased throughout the second half. In the final minutes of the second, a penalty afforded Coventry a free kick just outside the box, which they were able cash in on, making the score 2-1. With everyone anticipating the final whistle, the girls refused to quit and were able to add the equalizer on a goal by Arya Romero with 20 seconds left on the clock! The goal was her first of the season. The final score was 2-2.
With a record of 0-2-3, Lebanon will take on RHAM in Hebron on Saturday morning, the first of two meetings between these two teams.
