Game Summary:
It was an afternoon of firsts for the Shoregals.  For the team, it was the first game of the season and they ended up dropping a 4 -2 decision to hosts Oregon Clay.  For players Jackie Rush & Mila Zunich, they also achieved some important firsts.   Rush who is a freshman and was starting her first Varsity game, got her first Varsity goal off a crossing pass from soph. Olivia Siko in the first half for Avon Lake’s first goal of the season.  With 2 seconds remaining in the first half, soph. Mila Zunich scored her first Varsity goal on a shot from 18 yds. out off a long pass from Rush who recorded her first Varsity assist.  That knotted the score at 2-2 at the break.  Clay had tallies from soph. Karleigh Clere on a breakaway and a header goal from fellow soph. Sydney Hess off a corner kick from Clere.

The second half belonged to the Lady Eagles as Clere scored on another breakway and then with 14 minutes left,  soph. Alex Vartorella scored the final goal off a crossing pass from senior Kara Simon.  In goal for Avon Lake was junior Elise Duvall who made one save and for Clay soph. Olivia Hornyak also recorded one save.

In JV action, the Shoregals dominated in their first win of the season by a 4-1 score over Clay. Scoring goals for AL were freshman Anna Robinson with two tallies, soph. Olivia Hall scored a goal along with freshman Emily Higley.  Danielle DelGuidice was in goal for the Shoregals.    


Don't Forget the Pizza!!!
A reminder to everyone that once again this year Thursday night will be soccer pizza night for the Shoregals as Domino's holds a fundraiser for both the girls and boys soccer programs on each Thursday night during August.  A portion of each pizza sold all through the day will be contributed to the two programs. So give Mom a break and dial up some Dominos!!


Cudos Corner:
We like to recognize those individuals who do a little more for the program throughout the season.  This week we would like to say thanks to Eva Zunich for taking pictures for our Shoregal Yearbook, all the parent volunteers who helped with our teambuilding event, and Colleen Robinson for volunteering to do our JV stats for the season.
