Championship Game,

East Valley with something to prove would come out fast and aggressive but it was the speed of West Coast forward Jaden Hall crossing to Heather Tarabini again to give West Coast a 1-0 lead. Jaden Hall was a nuisance on opponents outside backs and slotted another beautiful cross this time to Ashleigh Ward who perfectly placed the ball in the back of net increasing the lead to 2-0. Asleigh Ward scored again with another shot just before the half to put West Coast up 3-0. Second half the EV Earthquakes managed to get a goal off a loose ball in the box from a corner kick making the score 3-1. West Coasts offense iced the Earthquakes defense and the match by scoring twice more with goals from Mia Mendoza and Jaden Hall for a final score of 5-1 in the Championship match.  “I’m just so proud of these young ladies, I have coached them for many years now & this will be our last Central Valley tournament together as our team is made up of seniors and will be graduating next year.  I will miss them so much” said Head Coach Troy Dayak.  West Coast Warriors 01 will be back in action next weekend for NPL Champions League play.
