The Christian Learning Eagles defeated the Cambridge Knights in a 4-0 shutout at International on Thursday to give the Eagles third place in junior varsity soccer. 

  The game started out evenly with good playing by both teams, but the Knights quickly tired, and soon could not keep up with the Eagles. Eagle Emily Ordoñez seized an opportunity to score the first goal of the game on a kick into the top left corner of the goal after a quick pass from Eva Brown set her up. 

 The Eagles maintained control for the rest of the half with good ball control and many shots, including one that hit the right post of the Knights' goal, but there was no  further scoring and the half ended 1-0.

 The second half started very similarly to the first. Both teams were revitalized from halftime and playing at full potential. Ordoñez nearly scored twice more on two breakaways, but the Knights had their own chances as well. 

There was plenty of action for both goalies as the ball went back and forth across the field. Later in the second half, Ordoñez carried the ball from the middle of the field all the way to the goal to make the score 2-0. Ordoñez soon scored a third goal, completing a hat trick, and making the score 3-0 in the Eagles' favor. As the game drew to a close, Eagle Samia Dajbura added another goal to bring the final score to 4-0.

 The result was all the more impressive in that the Eagles were playing with only ten players.
