After playing to a 3-3 draw, the Caxys advanced to the finals of the North Shore Shootout via a 4-3 decision in penalty kicks against Glenbrook South. After allowing two first-half goals, Niki Momcilovic ’24 scored a pair of goals around the third goal for Glenbrook South for a 3-2 score at halftime.
The score stalled at 3-2 as LFA was trailing in the final minutes of regulation. On a free kick from just outside the penalty box, Matthew Kupczyk ’24 came out of net as goalkeeper and Momcilovic found him with a pass and Kupczyk tallied the equalizer to force the penalty kick shootout.
The penalty kick session saw Kupczyk make a pair of huge saves while Kristian Kopacz ’26, Jose Onofre ’24, Momcilovic, and Franco Sovero ’24 all converted their opportunities to send the Caxys to the finals.
