For 78 minutes Tuesday, the Benet girls soccer team pushed, pushed and pushed some more in the hopes of eking out a goal against a tough-as-nails Kaneland defense.
That's what happens when an opponent with which you're recently familiar packs the box and essentially dares you to take shots, like Kaneland did Tuesday in their Class 2A Nazareth Sectional semifinal.
Casmere added,"I think they tried to give us as little space as possible to dribble or to shoot, but I think whatever chances that we had to get it in the box or get a shot off, we took it, and eventually it paid off.""They basically put everybody behind the ball," he said."They did just enough to disrupt us offensively with our passing rhythm, just getting in shooting lanes.
Obviously, adjustments were in order, making Round 2 a much different ballgame. Led by a back line of junior defenders Madison Schrader, Emily Kunzer and Casey O'Brien, the Knights forced Benet into hurried shots that often flew just past the pipes and just over the crossbar."I think just shifting together and talking, and just covering with each other," O'Brien said."We just knew where everyone was.
Benet peppered that Kaneland back line and senior goalkeeper Gillian McDonald with 18 shots -- 16 on goal. And the Redwings had legitimate chances, especially in the first half.
