Arsenal wins 5-0
The East Windsor PAL Girls U12 Arsenal defeated the Neptune Mystics 5-0 on the road. The Arsenal used its strong passing game to tire out a big and physical Neptune team.
The Arsenal began to break down the Neptune defense toward the end of the first half and the hard work paid off as Elise Price scored her first Arsenal goal on an assist from Marcella Hirschman.
The Arsenal was confident that more goals would come in the second half, and they did. Rachael Charsky put in a direct free kick after Angelina Benitez was taken down just outside the box. Benitez then scored the third Arsenal goal followed by two more from Abby Carter and Charlotte Garcia.
Radha Ghate and Tanya Aughenbaugh combined for the shutout in goal in front of strong defensive play from Anna Zappola, Alayna Giampolo, Allie Szelag, Megan Khazem, and Nishan Pannu.
