U17 Girls State Semifinals Recap

U17 GIRLS STATE SEMIFINAL A
5/13Blues FC
0-0
(4-3)
Force
Miss your first shot in kicks from the mark and you’re down, but not out. Miss two in a row? Well, then you’ve all-but lost. Unless you’re this opportunistic Blues side, who somehow advanced to the final after missing their first two spot kicks in the shootout. The Blues defeated Force 4-3 on penalties after a 0-0 draw in regular time, a result that’s sure to give them momentum heading into the final.
U17 GIRLS STATE SEMIFINAL B
5/13Diablo FC
0-3
Lamorinda United
From just the second minute of play, this match was never in question, as Elise Ziem tallied almost immediately to give Lamorinda United the only goal they would need against a strong Diablo FC side. Diem doubled the Lamorinda advantage six minutes after halftime, and Jordan Goularte added another strike two minutes from time to send Lamorinda deservedly into the final.
