Eagles on a Roll – Sweep Mission
Eagles on a Roll – Sweep Mission
No game is a “gimme” this year, yet the American High girls continue to find ways to win. In the last three games the girls have beaten Logan, Moreau Catholic (where Kelly scored on a sweet header off a corner kick, and Kate had 3 saves) and yesterdays win against Mission, which kicks off the second half of the season. The win against Mission makes for a sweep of the Warriors for the first time in recent memory.
MVAL record = 6-0-1.
Overall record = 11-4-1
In JV action, the Eagle girls won a 1-0 thriller against the lady Warriors JV squad. Way to go!!
This blurb from the mornings Fremont Argus:
American 2, Mission San Jose 1
FREMONT — Lauren Dubay scored both American goals to lead the Eagles (6-0-1) past the visiting Warriors (2-6).
With a break in MVAL play last Thursday, the first-place Eagles came into Tuesday’s match conscious of maintaining the momentum from the first half of the season.
“It was absolutely something we had talked about,” American coach Jerry Losson said. “We saw (Thursday’s) results from the other games, and they were opposite from what they were in the first half of the season.”
American — which defeated Mission 1-0 in the first game of league play — did not falter in the rematch, with help from Dubay’s performance.
With the game tied 1-1 in the 55th minute, Dubay took a pass from Erin Vandenbusch and booted a 12-foot shot for a goal. Dubay also got the scoring started with an unassisted goal in the seventh minute.
Mission rallied to tie the game on a goal by Sarah Steele, off an Emily Chen pass 10 minutes before the end of the first period.
The victory continues American’s trend of winning close games. Five of American’s six wins have been by one goal.
