Lions Review
The match unfolded as a showcase of exceptional soccer talent and defensive prowess from both the Lady Lions and the Rams. The first half saw spirited play and impressive ball movement, but the halftime intermission arrived with a deadlock at 0-0.
After the break, Samantha Delgado shattered the tie with a remarkable goal, skillfully assisted by Anna Bewley. Bewley continued to dazzle, firing a second goal into the left corner after a beautiful Ansley Meza pass. In the 72nd minute, Bewley sealed the victory with her second goal of the contest.
