We returned to the field for a 4:20 game against Hawks Black...a team we practice with and scrimmage often. It was unbearably hot and our girls started off a little rough, maybe some intimidation, but within about 10 minutes they came out of their shell and we pulled off a HUGE 2-0 win! Taylor scored a beauty off of Jenna's cross and Taylor Capuzzi also put one in and we were on to the Championship!
Luckily, it was an 8:20 game under the lights and much cooler. We played FC Murrieta Blue...a team we played several times last season. Although this year they picked up some additional players and were a much tougher team. Lauren and Maylie both scored on rockets to the left side of the net and we held a 2-0 lead until close to the end. Unfortunately, Natalie scored for Murrieta, which caused our girls to panic a little. We held it together until the final whistle and took home the Elite Cup Championship with a 2-1 victory and a great team effort!!
