Match Summary
With 2:46 showing on the stadium clock, the Naples Golden Eagles won a corner. Ava Majury sent the ball to the far side of the 6, where Molly Vickaryous waited unmarked to head it just inside the open post for the goal that beat the Aubrey Rogers Patriots 1-0.
The 7-2-2 Patriots put five shots on goal, all simple saves for Carmel Indianer. The 7-1 Golden Eagles made Riley Mikes work all night, forcing her to make eight saves, three of them incredible—a 1v1 from close range, the ensuing rebound and a rush off her line to go to ground and barely beat the forward to the ball.
Aubrey Rogers narrowly missed more than once, one from the run of play by Rafa Borda Villazon off the crossbar and another a free kick from 30 yards out by Grace Koch that skimmed the far post. Unable to finish several other opportunities led to a second defeat, both by the score of 1-0.
