Yesterday, the women’s soccer team had a league match against the Del Campo Cougars. This was not the same Cougars team from the past couple of years. With 13 underclassmen on their roster, they were eager and anticipating a possible upset of our Lady Falcons. The first half provided much action and ball movement by both teams. CB controlled the possession while Del Campo was relying on deep kicks and waiting for the defense to make a mistake. Eight minutes into the game, CB was able to put one into the net on a finish by forward Rachel Davis (’24), assist and beautiful banger of a cross from Genevieve Muskopf (’24) from the right side just beyond the Del Campo goalie’s reach. That was all the scoring action for the rest of the first half, with CB taking the 1-0 lead. Senior Lauren Reefer (’23) was inserted into the starting defensive back line and played phenomenal, locking down Del Campo’s top goal scorers. CB goalkeeper Grace Bettencourt (’23) had some action in the back, catching a few shots and watching a few attempts clear just over the goal. The 2nd half provided its fair share of anxiety. With both teams playing tough, each team had a decent amount of scoring opportunities, but neither was able to capitalize. It wasn’t until the final 16 minutes of the game that CB was able to cushion their lead and break the game wide open thanks to Davis (’24) who received perfect balls from Peyton McDonald (’23) and two from midfielder Bailey Rakela (’25). Career night and your Falcon Player of the Week for Davis (’24). The brace and hat-trick not enough, Davis (’24) went on to score all 4 goals in the match for the very rare HAUL and a 4-0 victory! Not to be taken for granted, the CB defense and midfield play were consistent and reliable contributing another shutout. The match was a lot closer than the score indicated and the Cougars feeling a little defeated will look forward to the rematch back at their house in a couple of weeks. Next game for your 10-3-2 Falcons will be tomorrow at Capital Christian.
