West Coast Soccer's premier 06 girls' team, Krossfire, took to the pitch Sunday morning against Marin FC 06 ECNL. This was the home opener for West Coast Krossfire in their first season playing in the NPL Champions League, the highest level of competition within the NorCal National Premier League.

Krossfire's smooth passing and offensive attack generated many scoring opportunities throughout the first half. Marin's defense would stay strong deflecting and blocking multiple Krossfire shots until the 21st minute when Gianna Ramirez froze the goalkeeper and knocked it in to give Krossfire the 1-0 lead. Marin would answer back in the 28th minute, knotting it up at one a piece. After halftime adjustments by both teams, the second half was a battle for control of the midfield. Krossfire's defense was able to negate any Marin attack. As the clock was winding down on what was looking to be a tie game, Krossfire would generate a corner kick opportunity and Paige McLean stepped up to send the ball into the box. Players from both sides positioned for control but the ball ultimately found the back corner of the net giving Krossfire the 2-1 last second victory. “It was a great way to end the game for our 06 girls and a awesome way to start the day off for our club” said coach Troy Dayak. 

Next up for Krossfire is another home game against Walnut Creek Surf on Saturday, 9/14.
