9/26/13: An early and unexplained ending to entertaining see-saw battle

A windy Thursday evening set the stage for a Davis-Woodland match-up that proved to be as bizarre as it was entertaining.  Down 1-0 early, Lily Byrne set up Jordan Davis with a through ball who sent it past the keeper to even the score.  Byrne then connected with Anne Ayotte who buried it far post to make it 2-1.  Woodland countered with two more goals, putting them up 3-2 at the half.  After intermission, Lindsey Vernau cracked in a bouncing ball from 18 for the equalizer.  As the game became more physical, J. Davis lunged to beat the Woodland defenders to a ball heading toward the opponent's box and ahead of the diving keeper, tapping it past for the the go ahead goal.  With nearly 15 minutes left to play, the Woodland coach then suddenly pulled his players from the field to force an apparent forfeit.  Final official results are pending league review.
