For the second consecutive game, the Lady Comets scored a goal in the last few seconds of the game. This time, however, it was the icing on the cake, rather than the games only goal as it was Thursday.

The Comets put early and consistent pressure on the Lawton defense in the first half. They almost put one in 3 minutes into the game off a corner kick, but the Lawton keeper made a nice save. With 24 minutes remaining in the half, the Comets passed the ball around nicely and missed a shot a few feet wider right.

A minute later, however, Haley Balkema scored off a Lawton turnover to give the Comets the 1-0 advantage. Two minutes later, Lawton had a turnover at the midfield and the Comets turned it into a 3 on 1 and Kayla Beebe finished the play to extend the lead to 2-0. The Lawton keeper made a great save a few minutes later to prevent 3 quick goals. The keeper made several other nice saves to keep the game 2-0. Beebe scored her second goal, this time from just inside the 18, with just over a minute remaining when Sarah Miller forced another Lawton turnover.

The Lady Comets continued to maintain possession of the ball for large portions of the second half. Kayla Beebe completed a hat trick with a penalty kick with 17 minutes remaining. The Comets finished the scoring with an own goal from Lawton off of a beautiful corner from Meagan Laaksonen with 12 seconds remaining to end the game at 5-0.

The Lady Comets improve to 18-2-2 overall. They advance to the regional semi-finals Tuesday at 5:00 at Kalamazoo College against Grand Rapids Covenant Christian.
