Arsenal keep streak alive
The EW PAL U12 Girls Arsenal has now extended its winning streak to seven games in MOSA League play. On Sunday, they played host to the Neptune Mystics and came away with a 4-2 victory.
The Arsenal distributed the ball well all game long, and it showed with four different players scoring goals on three assists.
Angelina Benitez got things started in the first half scoring on a feed from center midfielder Megan Khazem. Then, on perhaps one of the best sequences of the game, Anna Zappola volleyed in a cross from Allie Szelag for the second goal. Rachael Charsky drove home a blistering shot right before the half to give Arsenal a comfortable 3-0 lead at the half.
They put the game away in the first minute of the second half when Lola Huang crossed to Szelag who drove it home for their fourth and final goal.
The Arsenal has a 7-0 record with three games to play.
Thunder play to a draw
The EW PAL Girls U14 Thunder remains unbeaten in MOSA League play. They held Monmouth Coast to a 1-1 draw at home on Sunday.
With two defensive starters out due to injury, it was a tall task to play Monmouth Coast with only one player on the bench.
The Thunder came out strong as Isabella Benitez scored in the first half assisted by Anna Radigan. Izzy Del Toro continued to distribute the ball around the field and the offensive pressure by Karly McKenna, Emilia Vallejos, Annie Kosa, and Kelsey Emslie created several scoring opportunities and near misses for Thunder.
The defensive efforts in the second half from Teresa Alison, Bella Camaratta,Caleigh Kosman, and Lara Koppel took away any scoring chance from Monmouth Coast.
The Thunder is in second place with three games to play.
