Mahopac has faced Greeley once this

Monday against the Tuskers, the Indi-

“We came out a little slow in the rst

thought we picked it up in the second
half. We really wanted to get a win in the
playo s. It’s been a while, and this is good
for us as a team. We’ve improved a lot
during this season, and I think we played
together really well today.”

Indians coach Dona DiMaggio agreed.
“In the rst half I think we might’ve
had some jitters, in the rst quarter espe-
cially,” DiMaggio said. “ en we settled
down and got into our groove, played our
own style. And I think we carried that en-
ergy into the third quarter.
“ e team really rallied around our
seniors today,” DiMaggio added. “We
played with a lot of heart. I think we start-
ed feeling more comfortable in the second
half. And in the fourth quarter, I think
both teams were playing on adrenaline.”
DiMaggio said her players had been
working on the corner play that earned
them the victory.

“It was a beautiful goal, they’ve
been practicing that a lot, and they
got it to go in,” DiMaggio said.
“Carly (Ravoli) got it to Krista, who
got the defense to commit, then she
sent it back to the far corner - where
Marie put it in.

“Carly had an outstanding game
for us at mid eld,” DiMaggio add-
ed. “Gabby Gonzalez at center mid
played with a lot of energy, Emma
Witt was very solid on the right side,
and Kerrianne King also played well.
We also got a game-saving save from
Grace Witt, who stopped a shot with
her stick. It was a gorgeous save.”

Sophomore keeper Maddie Orsini
was pressured into play, and made an
impressive nine saves. “Orsini had a
great game,” DiMaggio said. “She
found out right before the game that
she was going to start, and she really
stepped up to the challenge. She was
ready.”

Dietz said the team has made the
most of this unusual season, but ul-
timately is happy to be playing. “It’s
been di erent, with the masks and
everything going on with COVID,”
she said. “We’ve been playing like
every day is our last, because we don’t
know what’s going to happen the
next day. So we’ve been hopeful that
we can keep going. We’re very happy
to get a win today.”
