SAN RAMON -- In the final regular season game of this very short season, the Crystals took on the Sapphires in a rematch of the very first game. In that first game, the Crystals overwhelmed the Sapphires with a 6-1 drubbing. After watching this game, it’s safe to say the Sapphires improved dramatically over the last few weeks. Other than a single goal by Jillian Weber, the defenses of both teams proved too much for either offense.

The star of the game for the Crystals was Brittany Jimena and her sturdy defense that she displayed, especially in the second half. In one play in particular, Brittany had to sprint to catch up to a Sapphires forward who had a breakaway and looked to have a one-on-one shot against the Crystals goalie, but Brittany amazingly caught up and disrupted the forward before she could take her shot. That was definitely one of the highlights of the entire season and it meant more than most as it was the difference between ending with a tie and ending with a win.

Nice game girls and a great way to end a good season. The girls finished with a record of 5-1 and outscored their opponents 23-8.
