Monday, 7/10: Cal-North Blue defeats Hawaii, 3-0
Hawaii played tough defense in the first
half and the score was 0-0 at the half. We wore down their defense in the 2nd half
and dominated the rest of the game, scoring all three goals in the 2nd half.
Bunny scored the first goal unassisted when she put the GK under pressure,
stole the ball and scored. Bunny scored the second goal on a distribution
from our GK Andrea. Stephanie finished the scoring with a goal assisted by
Caroline.
Tuesday is a big day. We play Cal-South. Cal-South has only one dominant team
at Regionals and it will be a tough match.

Monday, 7/10: Cal-North White defeats Arizona, 2-0
Cal-North White played Arizona in the first match of Regional Camp. We played on
the premier field of the complex. Girls were anxious about meeting their
competition. Warmup was intense, but lacking something -- 2 players, Najwa
and Whitney. Both showed up in time to play. The game was played at a fast
pace for the first few mins. AZ made several advances, but all were
countered. Our defensive line (Kelly, Jessica G., Sara, Sally and Nicole) moved
the ball quickly out of trouble and switched the point of attack. By doing so,
our outside midfielders (Dani, Meghann, Kayelyn and Brittany) were able to mount
an attack that proved to be effective against AZ.
AZ came at us right up the middle of the field. Central midfielders (Maggie,
Jamie and Jessie) thwarted most attempts, though AZ was able to penetrate once
in awhile. In one of these 1-on-1 battles goalkeeper Erin made a courageous
sliding tackle at the feet of an oncoming AZ striker.
Our attack found success in the first two minutes of the second half. Sally
intercepted a pass at midfield and with a solo run took a shot from 30 yds that
found the back of the net, 1-0. We did not score again until the 69th minute despite
many opportunities by Najwa, Jamie and Jessica G. In one of Whitney's 1-on-1
runs she slotted a ball from the left side past the GK for a goal on the far
post, 2-0. The buildup came from a pass from Nicole in our defensive line.
At the end of 70 minutes of regulation play AZ remained scoreless against
Cal-North's two goals. The tone has been set, we look forward to tomorrow's
game against New Mexico.

Tuesday, 7/11: Cal-South defeats Cal-North Blue, 0-1
It was a 1-0 game, Cal-South won. They scored in the 34th minute of the
second half. In the first half Cal-South pressured well, but our defense
played exceptionally well. In the second half, Cal-North dominated! Cal-South
started to tire out and we had a few opportunities to score, but just could
not capitalize. It was a great match overall!

Tuesday, 7/11: Cal-North White defeats New Mexico, 2-1
For Cal-North's White team it was a successful day at Regional Camp. We
played New Mexico, who beat Oregon 7-2 (a team Cal-North had tied in Portland).
In the first half Meghann Sadler slide tackled a New Mexico defender in the
box and suffered a mild concussion. She played through it until 10 minutes
into the second half. Our first goal was scored when Nicole Irwin won the
ball on defense and hit a long driven ball over the defense allowing Najwa
Sabrie to run onto it and finish with a chipped ball over the keeper and in
the net. After beating several defenders, Brittany Roemer passed a nice ball
to Maggie Robertson at the top of the box. Maggie drove a perfect shot and
hit the post, deflecting out of bounds. When the second half rolled around
Cal-North managed to score again when Dani Potts beat a defender and drove a
perfect long ball into space which allowed Whitney Goodell to break away
from her defender and score a goal. New Mexico managed to score, but
Cal-North held them off for a 2-1 win!
