The 2nd half was played mainly in the middle third with both teams struggling to create good scoring chances. With five minutes left Surf scored to go ahead 1-0. Avalanche put a lot of pressure on the Surf keeper the rest of the game but couldn't tie it up.
Team Report: The Surf team is one of the best in the Western Region and we proved in this game that we also belong in this category. The only goal of the game cam late in the 2nd half and was unstopable. Our goalie, Hailee DeYoung, had played a perfect game. She made many excellent saves and had several collisions with the opponents. We had tough play from all over the field. Megan Maldanado and Nicole Urry frustratered every attempt by the surf players. Megan Ohi had several crosses but we were unable to finish. Noelle Scott again played tremendous soccer, often sparking amazing offensive chances.
