After a tumultuous final 10 minutes that saw alternating goals on nearly every possession, Foxboro and Cohasset entered overtime. Nearly a minute into the extra time, Foxboro’s Val Beigel gained possession.

The junior, who to that point had four goals in the game, fired the ball into the back of the net to give her Warriors (6-0) a 9-8 nonleague victory.

“It didn’t feel real,” Beigel said. “We all worked so hard as a team, and just being able to execute on that last move meant everything.”

The Skippers (3-3) did not trail at any point in the game until the sudden death dagger. Head coach Billy Bitter said that despite the final, he learned a lot about his team.

“That’s the beauty of sports in general,” Bitter said. “No one team going into the game is better, and I give all the credit in the world to Foxboro. We have a lot to work on but I have all the confidence in the world in this team.”

The Skippers started out with three straight goals, and led 4-1 until late in the first half when Foxboro made the score 4-3.

“It felt from the start like a playoff game,” Foxboro coach Kathleen McCullough said. “We knew we had to come out on our toes and ready to go.”

In the second half, the Warriors were able to even the score at 5-5 and then the team’s traded goals until it was 8-8 at the end of regulation. This led to Beigel’s winning goal early in the extra frame.

Beigel’s five goals were joined by two from Paige Curran and one each from Addie Riley and Mary Collin’s. Campbell made six saves in net. Cohasset had numerous scorers, including Laney Larsen, Avery Regan, Kira Fulton and Libby Schiffman.

“It’s a big confidence builder for us,” McCullough said. “When you play top tier teams, you get tested and see who you are. That was the first overtime that I have coached them in, and it was great to see them stay stable and positive.”
