SAN RAMON -- The Earthquakes of San Ramon just missed a tying shot by Erika Shen in the final 5 seconds, and ended up losing a hard fought game 5-4 to the Orange Crush of Pleasanton. It was a well played game between two evenly matched teams. The game could have gone either way, but the Orange Crush came out on top this time around.

Jillian Weber had a hat trick with three nifty goals in the game. Allison Lee, fighting off a smashed left index finger courtesy of the arena door in the first game of the night, added to her goal total for the year by getting the 4th goal of the game for the Earthquakes. Sydney Place played a nice half of goalie. Kaitlin Lord took over the goalie duties in the second half, and was doing a great job, but got injured with a ball to the face. Sarah Kamp took over in a pinch and did a fine job as well.

The Earthquakes will get a second chance at the team from Pleasanton this coming week. This time around, they won’t have to play a game before this one, so we’ll see how they respond.
