West Palm Beach:  For the fourth consecutive season the Lions started off the season with a victory at the hands of Slam West Palm Beach.  In the end seven different players scored goals and ten players recorded a point in a 10-0 victory.

 

The Lions started early, earning a corner kick in the first minute which lead to a penalty shot.  Ava Vecchio calmly put the ball in the right hand corner for the first goal of the match.  The second goal came a few minutes later when when Alexis Araya set up Rebecca Camara who fired home a shot from outside the box.  Araya appeared to have scored her own goal on a high shot that fell just under the crossbar, but the keeper batted it down to Avi Solorzano's who touched it in.  Solorzano assisted Camara on the fourth goal during a scramble in the box eleven minutes in.  Following a nice passing play down the left wing, a beautiful header from Sienna Higgott completed a nice corner kick from Vecchio.  Moments later, Brooke Liebman brought a ball down the left wing and set up a perfect pass to Vecchio in stride for a touch goal at the water break.  Following the water break, Liebman scored her first varsity goal when she put home a pass from Leah Gottlieb.  Another scramble deep in the six yard box gave Rachel Rothstein a goal assisted by Ainhoa Martino with 8 minutes remaining.  Alma Geschwind would score the final two goals in the final three minutes with Camara and Vecchio each adding an assists.  Evelyn Soroka-Quiroz and Ava Finnerty combined for the shutout in goal.

 

The Lions will face Somerset Canyons tomorrow.
