Shoreham-Wading River girls soccer falls in close game with Islip
It is often said that one play decides the outcome of the game and that’s just what happened when Shoreham-Wading River came calling on the Islip Buccaneers in a Division III soccer matchup Thursday Oct. 5.
Islip scored on a rebound from a penalty kick halfway through the first half to take the 1-0 advantage. The Wildcats mounted a late-game surge, getting off several shots on goal in the closing minutes of the game but failed to find the back of the net as time expired.
Shoreham-Wading River goalie Morgan Lesiewicz had five saves.
The loss drops the Wildcats to 8-2-1 (8-3-2 overall) for third place in the division, trailing Kings Park and Bayport-Blue Point.
The Wildcats have three more regular season games before postseason play begins Saturday, Oct. 21.
