According to the report, Lincoln Academy opened the scoring after halftime before Kya Douin brought Cony level. Riley Miller then completed the comeback, giving the hosts another important result against strong opposition.
“Daquele momento em diante, dava para ver que sentimos que venceríamos,” Sweeting said, describing the belief that emerged after Douin’s equaliser.
The win also reportedly reflected a more controlled approach from Cony. Sweeting’s point was not that the team had abandoned its aggressive style, but that its direct play now carries greater purpose. That distinction could prove crucial during the pressure of the playoff race.
Cony’s attacking response drew the headlines, but Charlotte Gearhart was also reportedly central to the victory. The goalkeeper made six saves, helping protect the lead during the closing stages.
The match was also described as Gearhart’s final regular-season appearance at Fuller Field, where she and fellow senior Kelsie Huard were honoured before kick-off. “Elas realmente merecem esta vitória,” Sweeting said of the two veterans.
The report places Cony at eight wins, four defeats and one draw, competing around fourth place in the Heal points standings with Hermon, Skowhegan and Belfast. A home preliminary playoff match would represent a significant step for a programme that reportedly has not hosted a postseason game in many years.
The next challenge is maintaining that momentum through the remainder of the regular season. Cony’s recovery is now more than a promising run; it is a test of whether this improved identity can carry the team into the playoffs.
