It was something senior Noelle Batista had been practicing since was very little.

She stepped up to take a free-kick from 25 yards out for the Hicksville Comets against the rival Massapequa Chiefs. The practice certainly paid off as it was a fantastic curling effort into the top corner.

Not a bad effort for someone who usually doesnt take them.

Usually Kelly Carroll, our center back takes them but Noelle has been begging me to take them, Comets head coach Rich Hinnerschietz said.

However, she just may get more opportunities in the future.

No way, Hinnerschietz joked before admitting hes going to have to.

For the Comets, unfortunately the great goal came with the team down by three goals.

Chiefs senior forward Kristen Bischoff fired into the top corner in the games fifth minute to put Massapequa in front.

While the Comets came out moving the ball well, the early goal changed the game.
