Goal de Locks win two more playoff games

Goal de Locks, a local girls’ under-12 Division team, won two more

games in the second round of the AYSO Area K playoffs.

Goal de Locks, which just last week went 3-0-1 on the first

weekend of postseason play, defeated Region 117, 2-0, and Region 55,

2-1.

In their first game last weekend, Hope Garski scored off a Brianna

Webster pass to give Goal de Locks a 1-0 halftime advantage.

That score stood until the fourth quarter when an Erika Longoria

goal pushed the lead to 2-0.

The defensive play of Teresa Bandurian, Vicky Hill, Arielle

Freleaux and Kristy Verone held Region 117 scoreless.

Against Region 55, Goal de Locks overcame a 1-0 deficit to post a

2-1 victory.

Down a goal, Alison Hensley scored off a Freleaux assist to put

Goal de Locks into a 1-1 tie at the half. In the third period, Hayley

Townsend scored the decisive goal off a cross from Hensley to give

Goal de Locks its first lead.

From there, the defensive efforts of Shannon Bolotin, George

Demes, Jessica Parker and Stephanie Layton denied Region 55 any

further scoring opportunities.
