Norcal Regional Game vs Redwood
Last Tuesday, the Women’s Soccer team played their regional playoff game at home against #5 Redwood out of Larkspur. The Giants came into the game with a 18-3-3 record and this was going to be another tough matchup. Both teams were equally matched from the start. The Redwood Giants controlled the possession for most of the game and the Lady Falcons came out a little flat, but neither team could manage to score a goal by the end of regulation. The Falcons defense lead by Grace Cloete (’22), Emily Mayes (’23) held strong and Dana Greer (’24) kept a clean net. The game then went into a sudden death (golden goal) 15-minute overtime period. Within the first 3 minutes of the start, Bailey Rakela (’25) received a pass and drove it down the sidelines drawing a corner kick. Elizabeth Ledesma (’23) set up the corner and floated a beauty into the box where Grace Cloete (’22) had a spectacular finish with the header goal. Your Lady Falcons take the 1-0 win and will play #1 seeded Granite Bay who finished 2nd in the San Joaquin Section D2 Finals. Today’s game is at 4:30 at Granite Bay. Good Luck to our Lady Falcons!!
