El Segundo, CA — Everything the Eagles have been working for all season came together in yesterday's game vs. Downey. From the very first whistle, the players had their heads in the game and played their hearts out. The entire first half was back and forth, the goal differential never extending beyond one and the half ending 8-7 in Gundo's favor. The Eagles pulled ahead early in the second half to lead by 4, but Downey answered to tie it at 11 with 10 minutes in the game. An Eagle goal by Morgan Wood at 5 minutes put Gundo ahead, but Downey was quick to tie it back up 20 seconds later. Abi Layne finished a shot with 2:30 to go, but Downey scored again with 1:17 left. The Eagles lost the draw but came up with a CTO and beautiful transition down the field. A strategic possession timeout called by Coach Chuck with 30 seconds left allowed the girls to take a breath and set up a play, and they went back out there with looks of determination unlike any other. The goalie saved the shot, but Grace Bonney came up with the rebound and buried the ball in the back of the net with 5 seconds left in the contest.

El Segundo, CA — The Eagles put up a fight against Palisades in an exciting back and forth game. At the half, the Eagles were down by two and clawed their way back and went up by two with 15 minutes to go. The Dolphins tied it back up, prompting the Eagles to inch ahead again, but the Dolphins tied it again with 7 minutes left in the game. An unlucky call with a minute left called back the goal that gave the Eagles a 9-8 lead, and the Palisades goalie saved the 8m shot, ending the game in a tie. Outside of league, there is no overtime, but El Segundo is excited to take on Palisades again next season.

El Segundo, CA — The Eagles maintained composure and patience throughout the game vs. Hamilton, increasing their 5-3 lead at the half to 13-8 to end the game. With two strong attackers on the opposing team, the Eagles defensive unit adjusted beautifully to shut down the two players who had scored 80% of Hamilton's 113 goals for the season. Shoutout to Tia Valentino and Scarlett Long for leading the charge and making those adjustments. The crash is looking better and better each game, and they shut down the Yankees again and again. Middies caused nine turnovers and were quick on the transition, taking advantage of the other team's mistakes. Attack delivered on the other end of the field with goals from six different players and Abi Layne putting up five again. Love heading into spring break with a W!
