Brucker also had the final shot for the Hawks. Her running attempt from 25 yards out flew just barely over the crossbar of the Cougar goal as the final horn sounded.
“That was so close,” Hand said.
Horizon Christian also had plenty of other opportunities in between those two shots by Brucker.
“We’re getting better and better every day,” Ng said. “It’s been fun getting in there and stepping up.”
Freshman Maggie Bachhuber, senior Victoria Holmes, freshman Sammy Mullen and Ng all had shots at the Gervais goal in the first half.
In addition to Brucker’s last-second attempt, Horizon Christian came extremely close to scoring during another instance in the second half. With 21 minutes and 49 seconds left in the match, Horizon Christian senior Deanna Ulrich had her shot from 17 yards out clank off the left post of the Cougar goal. Junior Candice Russell’s follow-up shot went just wide right of the goal.
Ng, Bachhuber and Mullen also had shots on goal for the Hawks in the second half.
Meanwhile, the Horizon Christian defense, including freshman Renee Rosal, Ng, sophomore Gracie Dempster, Bachhuber and sophomore goalkeeper Tessa Williams among others, didn’t allow Gervais to get a shot on goal in the contest.
“We have some great girls on defense,” Hand said.
Horizon Christian was scheduled to play at Western Mennonite in a league match on Wednesday. Results of that match weren’t available when the Times went to press.
The Hawks will be back in action Monday when they host Philomath at 4:15 at Horizon Christian High School.
