Local Club Soccer Team Wins Back-to-Back Championships
After winning the Suntan Classic two weeks ago, the El Dorado Untied EDA ’94
girls were once again victorious this weekend as they captured the championship
in the El Dorado Summer Shootout’s17-19 age group.
After beating the ACC Mavericks 1-0 on a goal scored by forward Alex Ghilarducci,
EDA then tied their second game against the North Valley Tornados 0-0. Their
third game was against a team they had soundly beaten the tournament before and
once again, they had their way with the Fresno Nomads 18’s, beating them 3-0.
EDA’s first goal against the Nomads came on a penalty shot by forward Jesslyn
Jana after teammate Marissa Miller was fouled in the box early in the first
half. The second goal came on a long kick from defender Amberly Bole, which Jana
flicked to herself on a bounce and finished to score. The final goal of the game
came on a cross by guest player Taylor Bruno to Jasmine Mercadel who found the
back of the net.
Their 2-1-0 record gave them the top spot based on points going into the
championship game against the Butte Bobcats. The score remained 0-0 at halftime
and EDA did not score until late in the second half. With 10 minutes to go,
Ghilarducci brought the ball up the sidelines past defenders and crossed to
Jana. Jana, with her back to the goal, instinctively passed back to an open
Bruno, who rocketed in the shot for the only goal of the game. This gives EDA
three tournament championships out of the 6 tournaments they have played this
year.
