Jaguars subdue fractious Griffins, 3-0
The Cooperative girls varsity soccer team continued its season undefeated, untied, and unscored-upon after posting a 3-0 win over International on the Jaguars' home field Tuesday.
The Rivero family accounted for Cooperative's scoring in the first half. Maria Paz Rivero opened the scoring, and a few minutes later her sister connected with a crossing pass to make the score 2-0 for the Jaguars at halftime.
Midway through the second half Paola Querejazu broke free in front of the Griffin goal and rifled a shot into the left-hand corner of the net to acccount for the Jaguars' third goal. Earlier in the half Giovanna Varalta had come close for the Jaguars, caroming a shot off the crossbar.
The Griffins played a spirited game and often moved the ball into Jaguars' end of the field, but had trouble getting the ball into a position from which they could score.
The Cooperative girls, though missing four of their starters due to academic ineligibility, had more scoring opportunities, and their winning margin would have been larger except for some intrepid goaltending by Griffin Matilde Gamarra.
