Goals: Jillian Strimbu - 2
Assists: Mary Donegan - 1

The Shoregals opened their season on a positive note in non-conference action against the Solon Comets with a 2-0 win. Jillian Strimbu scored two goals including the game winner on a penalty kick late in the 2nd half. Mary Donegan picked up an assist on the first goal. Dana Strimbu played the entire game in goal for the Shoregals recording 4 saves and giving up just the one goal.

The Shoregals opened the newly renovated Memorial Stadium in fine fashion with a 6-0 victory over conference foe Berea. With the win, the Shoregals remain undefeated on the season at 2-0-0 and 1-0-0 in the SWC. Avon Lake was led by Jillian Strimbu with 2 goals, Freshman Emilly O'Connor also netted 2 goals including the first ever scored in the new stadium.

A huge crowd was on hand to cheer the Shoregals as it was Avon Lake youth soccer night and they did not go home disappointed.
AL at Avon on 8/28:
AL - 0 Avon - 2
In the 2010 installment of the annual "Golden Shoe" game, the Avon Lady Eagles prevailed over the visiting Avon Lake Shoregals by a score of 2-0. Both Avon goals were tallied by freshman Kelsey Lawler and she was assisted on one of her goals by Megan Garner. It was a tale of two halves as the Shoregals dominated play in the first half, but were unable to find the back of the net and the game went into halftime tied 0-0 . In the second half, Avon stepped up the intensity gaining control of the match and eventually netting the two goals. Holly Kraus was in goal for the Lady Eagles and made several great saves among her 7 on the night to preserve the victory. Dana Strimbu handled the goal keeping duties for the Shoregals and recorded 5 saves.
A good first week as our record now stands at 2-1-0.
Our JV team is undefeated as they won 2 and tied 1 during the week!!
