Sarnia Spirit (2) vs. Southend United Fusion (0)

May 23, 2009

In their season home opener, Sarnia girls played a tough 1^st half with no scoring by either team until late in the half.  Lilia Pasqual placed a beautiful long ball sailing up over the Southend defenders and Alicia DaSilva would chase it down to score the first goal of the game at the 28-minute marker.

The score would remain 1 – 0 until very late in the 2^nd half.  The Spirit girls played a very good defensive half when at the 38-minute marker; Melissa Blair would connect with a well-placed corner kick from Alicia DaSilva.  Blair would find the left side of the net and put away the 2^nd of the game.  Spirit came away with a 2-0 win.  Mackenzie Turner would earn her 2^nd shutout of the season.  Way to go Spirit!
