Gold Bracket
Championship: 10:30am – Edwards Turf – Team HLA 17, PA Express
Team HLA took no time in seizing a commanding 4-1 lead, but PA Express kept it close early. After a good possession they got a goal bringing them within two. The game came down to focus as both teams were neck and neck in terms of athleticism. Team HLA had limited their mistakes and effectively used PA Express’ turnovers. HLA used some good unselfish play, scoring six goals, four of which were assisted, taking 10- 3 lead. The tournament MVP, Zoe Stukenberg of Team HLA, contributed a goal and an assist, but teammate Tess McEvoy had captured the half with 3 goals. PA Express’ McKenna Coyle had an amazing half taking shots from every angle and racking in six saves limiting HLA’s lead to 11-3. PA Express’ Katie O’Donnell scored the first goal of the second half for her team, but HLA continued to utilize the back-cut pass to widen their lead to 12. PA Express tried to match the intensity of their opponent but it was too late, Team HLA had sealed the victory long before.

Midwestern Force came out slow allowing Oregon Elite’s Lilly Newman to score two quick goals. Midwestern Force took a timeout which seemed to help as they answered back scoring two goals of their own. Midwestern’s hustle was hard to match, but they had several mental lapses, which Oregon Elite capitalized on to take a 7-2 lead. Midwestern Force continued to fight, especially goaltender Isa Rodriquez coming up with some big-time saves. Oregon Elite controlled the tempo for the first half giving them a 8-3 lead at the start of the second. Morgan Fee scored the first goal of the second half for Midwest with Macaulay Mikes scoring soon after to bring them within 3.
