Griffins prevail over Knights
The International girls varsity soccer team scored a 3-0 win over Cambridge on their home field Tuesday afternoon.
International went ahead in the first half on a goal by Carolina Baldivieso, but the game remained a 1-0 affair until more than halfway though the second half when Natalia Davila uncorked a long shot from the the right side of the goal that hit home on the far side of the goal.
Flavia Nostas made it 3-0 with less than a minute to go in the game when she unleashed a long, high floater that stayed a little too high for the Cambridge goalie to reach.
The game was a competitive affair in which both sides had their scoring opportunities, though the action toward the end was clearly dominated by International.
Female Jaguars win against Eagles
By Trevor Reed
Christian Learning
The Cooperative girls varsity soccer team extended their winning streak with a 4-0 victory over the Christian Learning Center on the Jaguars' home field Tuesday.
Victories by both teams the previous week had built up the excitement for this match, and the two teams were well matched during the first half in which the only scoring was a goal by Jaguar Sofia Sotelo. The Eagles had a few good scoring opportunities as well, including a shot by Abby Phillips that curved out of the goal at the last second. Eagle Aubrey Olson delivered excellent corner kicks as well, but the Eagles couldn't get the ball past the Jaguar goalie Karla Aguilera.
The Jaguars had a lucky break in the second half when a corner kick bounced off of an Eagle defender for a second Jaguar goal. Still, the Eagles refused to give up and continued to attack the Jaguar defense, but fine saves by Aguilera prevented the Eagles from making a comeback.
The Jaguars scored twice more in the second half, once by Sotelo, her secon d of the day, on a loose ball that was bouncing around in the penalty box, and later on a well-aimed shot kicked over the Eagle goalie's head by Aldana Roda.
