Playing through rainy late September weather, the Lady Kats hosted Lapel on Wednesday night in an action-packed, unpredictable match that ultimately ended in a 7-2 victory for the visitors. The match kicked off with a frantic sequence of play before either team could settle into a standard rhythm. Featuring multiple brief stoppages and lightning-quick attacks on both ends, the two squads traded goals in a wild four-minute opening burst. Anna De Fazio took full advantage of the chaotic start, catching Lapel’s backline off guard twice to tap in a pair of early goals. Lapel answered right back with two strikes of their own, locking the game at 2-2 almost immediately after kickoff. As slick conditions continued to affect ball movement across the pitch, the Lady Kats adapted well, piecing together consistent attacking runs and testing the Lapel keeper. However, Lapel managed to break through a few more times late in the period to carry a 5-2 lead into the break. The Lady Kats raised their level in the second half, demonstrating improved ball control and sharper overall possession. Connecting cleanly from foot to foot despite the damp conditions, the Kats created multiple scoring opportunities and kept the pressure on Lapel's defense. While Lapel tacked on two more goals to bring the final to 7-2, the Kats' effort, adaptability, and steady play throughout the evening showed great progress. The Lady Kats return to their home pitch on Saturday morning for a special Senior Day matchup against Muncie Central.
