OTTOVILLE — At this time last week, Lily Smith wasn’t the starting keeper for Delphos Jefferson.
But the Wildcats needed Smith to step into that role on Tuesday night, and she responded by making seven saves and helping her team hold on to a 3-2 victory over Ottoville.
Delphos Jefferson coach Megan Etzkorn moved Smith into the box after her first two keepers went down on Saturday.
“We had tryouts last night to find out who would be our third-string goalie,” she said. “We came in tonight with nothing to lose, so it was exciting to see the girls play hard the whole game.
“We just wanted her (Smith) to handle the situation for what it was. She’s a junior and she stepped up because the role needed to be filled, and she did a pretty good job at it.”
Smith and the Wildcats shut Ottoville out in the first half and held a 1-0 lead thanks to a nifty pass from Aubrey Dudgeon to Kyah Kimmet, who scored the ball at the 22:44 mark.
Shortly after halftime, however, things got interesting.
The two teams combined for three goals in just under 90 seconds.
Ottoville (3-4) tied things up on a goal from Karlee Horstman (38:35) but 27 seconds later, Kimmet fired her second goal of the game into the back of the net.
Less than a minute later, Dudgeon caught the Ottoville defense on its heels again and gave Delphos Jefferson a 3-1 lead with 37:09 left.
Ottoville netted the final goal of the game with 1:26 to go one of its eight corner kicks when Morgan Hoersten found Haley Horstman. Keeper Ella Druckmiller made eight saves in the loss.
