Hauppauge United Turns Up the Heat in a Stunning Victory Over Baymen United

After a sluggish start to the match, Hauppauge United lit up the field with heart, hustle, and standout performances across the board in their 2-0 triumph over a skilled Baymen United squad.

Once they found their rhythm, United was a force. Offensively, Edith Arevalo-Flores led the charge, playing with undeniable fire—fighting for possession, pushing forward with confidence, and setting the tone with her physicality and determination.

The breakthrough came from the back line, where Ashley Leinz battled fiercely to draw a free kick. Kika McDermott stepped up and delivered a perfect strike from 30 yards out—a blistering shot that soared toward goal. The Baymen keeper couldn't make the save! United’s first goal was on the board, and the crowd erupted.

Kaitlyn Asseng was a defensive rock, making clutch stops and sticking with every play. Her relentless effort stifled Baymen’s attack and kept Hauppauge in control. Daniella Pinzon played a dynamic two-way game, using her speed and field vision to transition play and create opportunities for her teammates.

Versatility was on full display from Tenley Jensen, who contributed on both ends of the field. Her tough tackles, accurate passing, and nonstop energy made her a key piece of United’s puzzle throughout the match.

Back on the defensive end, Leinz and McDermott continued to show grit and intelligence, cutting off angles and neutralizing Baymen’s forwards with precise positioning.

At the top of the formation, Kensie Buscher worked in perfect sync with the defense, staying ready to receive and distribute. Her positioning and passes helped connect the dots in United’s fluid offense. Emersyn Drake brought intensity to every challenge, using her quickness and strength to win possession and shift momentum.

One of the most pivotal moments came from Alexa Perlstadt, who delivered a beautiful cross into the box. Emma Pinelli was perfectly placed, timing her run to drive the ball into the net and seal the 2-0 lead.

And none of it would have been possible without the backbone of the team—goalkeeper and captain Riley Franco. Riley had an incredible match, with fearless dives, sharp reflexes, and commanding saves that kept Baymen off the scoreboard. Her composure and courage between the posts were instrumental in securing the clean sheet.

From front to back, this was a total team performance. Every player rose to the occasion, proving once again that Hauppauge United doesn’t back down—they rise up.
