U16 Girls State Semifinals Recap

U16 GIRLS STATE SEMIFINAL A
5/13	Force	2-2 (3-4)	Lamorinda United
Lamorinda United scored early and often in this game and looked to be cruising, until a controversial late equalizer from Force ECNL on a goal line scramble made things interesting late. After Ava Schmitt opened the scoring for Lamorinda, Elizabeth Kooiman equalized for Force in the 25th minute. Jordan Goularte gave Lamorinda another lead just one minute later before Ella Wright scored the controversial strike that set up a dramatic Lamorinda victory on kicks from the mark.

U16 GIRLS STATE SEMIFINAL B
5/13	Tahuichi FC	1-6	Davis Legacy
In a match that was close until very late in the second half, the Davis Legacy booked their spot in the State Cup Final behind a hat trick from Jordan Davis. Davis scored for Davis in Davis in the 37th, 62nd, and 80th minutes, with the first goal eventually being the winner. Tahuichi Red gave the Legacy a real scare early in the second half of the match, making the score 2-1 with an opportunistic strike from Dhamar Espinoza Calzada, but late Legacy goals from Lily Byrne and Skye Shaffer -- in addition to the opening goal from Emily Urkov -- sealed the deal for Davis.
