Earthquakes take one on the chin, lose 8-3

SAN RAMON -- The Earthquakes got a rematch of last week’s second game against the Orange Crush of Pleasanton. Last week’s game was decided by a single goal and the Earthquakes just missed tying the game in the final seconds. This week’s game wasn’t quite as close. The Orange Crush started the game with two relatively quick goals and never gave up the lead after that. Towards the middle of the second half, the Earthquakes did pull to 3-5, but that was as close as they could get. The Orange Crush managed to score three more goals before the end of the game, making the final score 8-3.

Although the score seemed like a blow out, the game was actually played fairly evenly, other than the great goal keeper work for the Orange Crush. There were no easy goals to be had this game.

This week, Jillian Weber started the scoring for the Earthquakes, followed by Sydney Place and Allison Lee.

Next week, we have the week off, so we won’t have another game until Tuesday, March 10th at 6:20pm. See you all then!
