For the majority of Thursday's Region 6 opener, Brighton had an answer for everything Olympus' attack threw its way — especially the unusually high number of hopeful through ****** in behind.
Sometimes, when all else fails, you've just got to test the keeper from distance and hope to get a bit lucky.
It was the perfect recipe for the ****** ans. They forced overtime with a long-range effort in the final minutes of regulation, and then won with an even deeper free kick in double overtime to steal the tense 2-1 rivalry win on their home field under the lights.
"Super excited. Brighton's our rivalry team, and so I feel like coming into the game, that energy was way higher than any game we've played this season," said Olympus senior Emma Peterson.
Annika Speery tied the game in the 77th minute on a shot from about 25 yards out that dipped just under the crossbar. Midway through the second overtime, Peterson won it as she hammered a driven free kick from over 40 yards out that deflected in off the keeper's hands.
