The Cooperative junior varsity girls soccer team eked out a close 2-1 victory over a fast-improving Cambridge team Monday afternoon on the Jaguars field.
All the scoring came in the second half, with Cooperative taking a 1-0 lead, and then Cambridge tying the game at 1-1. Cooperative went ahead on a relatively easy shot that the otherwise impressive Cambridge goalie mishandled.

Griffins, Eagles deadlock 1-1
A last-second goal by eighth-grader Valeria Cordeira enabled the International junior varsity girls soccer team to salvage a 1-1 tie with Christian Learning Monday on the International field.
Emily Ordonñez had pit the Eaglettes ahead 1-0 in the first half when she took charge of a goalie kick, dibbled down field, and drilled the ball into the net with a left-footed kick that hit the upper-right corner of the goal. International then went on to win the post-game shootout for the extra point in the standings 3-2.
The two teams had fought to a similar 1-1 tie in their previous meeting this year, but in that one Christian Learning had won the shootout.
