Sweet Maiden Victory

The Spartans played for the silver that would be theirs should they win and the UniHawks played to salvage their pride. Different objectives, same goal. Game on.

Notable change in the UniHawk camp was the fact that their usual keeper was unable to attend and therefore #14 Christopher had to stand in again.

Whistle was blown and they exchanged blows. With apparently nothing to lose, the Hawks attempted great floorball moves and should have taken the lead but for the solid pair of hands of the Spartans kungfu goalie. Right after that, the Hawks were stunned by 2 quick goals taken in swift succession. Thoughts of defeat would surely be running through their minds but it did not show in the game which they have gradually gained control of by then. Just before the break, Hawks levelled through good team play finished by #5 JJ and the teams went in tied at 2-2.

The Hawks came out blazing and slaughtered the Spartans with lots of counter-attacks and opportunist-goal poachings to fully capitalize on the many Spartans' blunders, scoring three without reply to cap a remarkable comeback from 2 goals down. The Spartans pulled a goal back towards the end but it was not Sparta. The night belonged to the victorious Hawks who, IMHO, thoroughly deserved their win.

Final score 5-3, which amazingly was what they wanted to play for before the match. And now that the UniHawks had finally won, they would thirst for more.
