El Segundo, CA — It seems like after every game, the first comment is that the transitions look the best they've looked all season, and today was no exception. Quick and seamless transitions were key in today's win over Beverly Hills High School, bringing El Segundo's record to 8-6 with one game remaining in the regular season. The Eagles kept their heads up and were able to move the ball from one end to the other in the blink of an eye, burying it in the back of the net before the other team knew what hit them. Whether it started with a caused turnover or a save and clear from the goalie, the girls kept their heads up, made effective cuts for each other, and connected passes beautifully from start to finish. Players contributed all over the field, with eight different players on the board, another golden glove for freshman Abi Layne, and 7 saves for freshman goalie Beth Stephens. Junior goalie Arianna Rendon was able to hold the Normans to one goal in the second half, putting up 9 saves of her own. Stick work and shooting drills at practice also paid off as the Eagles were able to move the goalie and place their shots, ending with a shooting percentage of just over 50%! All the girls' hard work is coming together as they prepare for their final game of the regular season against Culver City this Friday. Come out and support for senior night!

Los Angeles, CA — After a rocky first half that ended tied 6-6, the Eagles adjusted to a bouncy, heavily pitched field and took back control of the game, holding Hamilton to just two goals while scoring another six themselves.

Beverly Hills, CA — The Eagles fought hard for this W from the second they stepped on the field today. Right off the first draw, they showed they were here to play. After an early goal, BH was quick to answer with one of their own, and the Eagles were down by one at the half. Using that as motivation, the Eagles came out strong with three goals from three different players--Morgan, Grace, and Sabrina--in the first three minutes of the second half. The rest of the half went back and forth, with BH capitalizing on a few mistakes, and the game ended in a tie, sending the Eagles into sudden death OT. After winning the draw, they struggled to convert, resulting in a turnover and transition. On defense, Becca drew the charge, sending the ball back upfield. Exercising patience and waiting for the right look, Morgan saw Jamie inside the 8 and didn't hesitate, and Jamie made a clean catch, turned, shot, and scored for the win!
