Kayla Ward - Wethersfield High School (Soccer): Ward scored an equalizer on a penalty kick with eight second remaining in regulation as the Eagles tied Glastonbury 1-1 on Sept. 30. The junior snuck the game-tying kick past goalie Marla Radikas as the home crowd at Cottone Field went wild. 
           
Ward and Radikas play together on the same club soccer team, so the two shook hands and exchanged pleasantries prior to the penalty kick. .  
           
“I knew she would go to the left anyways but I knew it was better not to change up my PK because I have better power on that side,” said Ward, who added she loves close games. “These ones are the most fun.”
           
Despite trailing 1-0 at the half, head coach Tony Leone imploded his team to keep fighting until the final whistle and was proud how his team matched Glastonbury physically. He also credited Ward for sticking to what she does best on the penalty kick.  
           
“Kudos to her,” said Leone. “I would have been trying to play mind games and go the other way, but Kayla just stuck to what she always does and that is what you should do when you take a PK.”
