Alexander and Wheatland-Chili Finish in a 1-1 Tie

By Chad Flint

The 2nd place teams in division 1 and division 2 played to a 1-1 tie Tuesday in Alexander.  Wheatland-Chili jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on a goal in the 4th minute by Elizabeth Weir.  Alexander answered back in the 29th minute when Junior Tessa Bigelow converted a Penalty Kick that was awarded after Freshman Abby Shilvock was brought down in the box by a Wheatland-Chili defender.

Wheatland nearly went ahead 2-1 late in the 1st half when a direct kick was fired in on goal but Junior Hannah Wilson tipped it over the bar.  Alexander had several chances in the 2nd half to go on top but misfired on some good chances in front of the net.

In OT Alexander had several chances to put the game away but again misfired on shots around the net.

Wilson made 8 saves in net for Alexander.  Alexander had 13 corner kicks and was unable to convert any of them and that proved to be the difference in the game.

Alexander record moves to 5-1-1 and their next game is Thursday at Lyndonville.
