Hollister United 1, Palo Alto Eagles 0

Hollister United had its most exciting game yet!  The girls were fired up for their late Sunday afternoon game. Hollister was able to pull out their first win 1-0 over the Palo Alto Eagles. 

The girls worked together like a well-oiled machine to dominate and control the Eagles.  They played so well that they limited most of the play to the Eagles’s side of field.  Each girl gave their very best and each one of them should savor this first win, they deserve it.

With Hollister United in control of the game, both goal keepers, Kylie Garcia and Alexandria Reckas saw little action, but when they did, they held off the Eagles for shut outs in both halves.  

The first half was scoreless, but it wasn’t for a lack of trying.  Deanna Rodrigues, Alexandra Osborn, Kylie Garcia, Hannah Press and Kristen Callanta all made shots on the Eagles’s goal.  Patty Laguna, Morgan Cramer, and Brianna Romero also played very well and contributed to the game, making great stops and helping get the ball downfield.

The defense, Chase Miguel, Deanna Rodrigues, and Alexandria Smallwood all made fantastic stops and were excellent in keeping the ball out of Hollister United’s territory. 

During the halftime pep talk, Coaches Ted and Dave were able to give the team the extra edge they needed.  A few minutes into the second half Alexandria Reckas fired a shot for the game’s only score.  Hannah Press also made an excellent near scoring shot in the second half.

It is still early in the season, and the team is playing strong.  We look forward to the rest of the season, I am sure this won’t be the last time the United finds the win column.

Each one of the girls deserves a hardy pat on the back, keep up the awesome game play!

Next Saturday we meet the Roadrunners 95.
