Last season, we won the AA-C Presidio League title and advanced to play this season in AA-B. We expected tougher competition, but still anticipated a finish near the top. We started the 12 game run with a 1-1 tie against Poway back in September, won 9 other games and tied our second battle against Poway. We knew the title would likely come down to one little mistake from either of our teams or would eventually have to be decided by goal differential. Lucky for us, in their final game, Poway tied Westfield 1-1!
This left us in control of our own destiny today as we played our rescheduled (due to rain) game against Encinitas. A win would give us sole possession of 1st place...
Our girls started off a little flat, allowing Encinitas to score fairly early. It may have just been the wake up call we needed because Ashley and Kenzie put two quick goals in for us to regain the lead going into halftime.
In the 2nd half, Taylor started at right forward and nailed a shot into the net off of a beautiful cross and Ashley and Kenzie answered with two more. The team played very strong as a whole, keeping possession of the ball and outplaying Encinitas.
We finished with a very well-deserved 5-1 win and the AA-B Presidio League title with an overall season record of 10-0-2. This team has such skill, heart and love for the game and Coach Charlie sure brings out the best in them. I love being part of it all and am so proud of all this team has accomplished. Can't wait to see what they will do in AA-A next year!!
