West Coast Krush 05 Girls team traveled to the North Bay this past Sunday, kicking off NorCal Spring League against Santa Rosa United 05G Gold, coming out on top with 4-2 victory.

Krush scored its first goal minutes into the game when Ava Coverdale sent a clearing pass up the field, Kayla Robinson stole the ball away from a Santa Rosa defender and juked around the defender sending a blistering shot into the goal.

Later in the half, Robinson attempted another goal, but her shot was blocked by Santa Rosa’s goalie, the block created a second scoring opportunity for Krush and Lauren Stoneberger took advantage of it. Stoneberger intercepted the block, then placed a shot of her own just inside the goal. The half ended with Krush leading 2-1, after Santa Rosa capitalized on a penalty kick.

Krush kept the pressure up in the second half, scoring two more goals. The first came when Kimmie Keller crossed the ball to Paige McLean for a quick shot that Ricochet off the crossbar into the goal. Krush’s final goal of the game came from Coverdale, who smoothly maneuvered around Santa Rosa’s defenders before scoring. Another penalty kick gave Santa Rosa a second goal, just before time expired, but by that time it was too late. Final score 4-2, and West Coast Krush’s got the first victory of Spring League.
