EAGLES HOLD PANTHERS, END GAME IN TIE, 0-0
For their fourth league game of the season, the Eagles traveled to Parlier High School to face off against the Panthers, Jan 31.
Though the Eagles were predicted to win the match, the Eagles failed to put in a goal. The majority of shots were taken on the Panther’s goal, but FC could not place one in the net.
The Eagles and Panthers battled throughout the first half, both teams failing to score, bringing the first half to an end, 0-0. The second half proved little difference; ending the second half, 0-0, as well.
Due to WSL regulations, the two teams entered into two 10-minute overtimes directly after the game. Despite the extra time, the match still ended in a draw, putting a tie on the Eagle’s record.
Freshman Amber Wilson played goalie for the Eagles, stopping shots from the Panthers to keep the Eagles in the game.
“It was a hard game for us to tie,” Wilson said. “I had some good stops that kept them {Panthers} from scoring, but we also didn’t score. We really should have won that game, but I feel like we were distracted by so many other things that our heads weren’t in the game.”
