Posted by Soccer - Girls on Jan 18 2018 at 09:01PM PST in 2017-2018

Jan 16, Tuesday evening was a first for Amador Girls Soccer – a loss. From the beginning, Monte Vista demonstrated speed up front, and a passing skill set that continued throughout the game. Within 10 minutes, Monte Vista had 2 goals, and altho Amador played with strength, they defended on numerous occasions, and it seemed all-consuming. Monte Vista just kept coming, and fast. MV had several players who just simply out-paced Amador with speed.

Amador had some lighter moments with pressure flipped, as AVHS attacked, though were stalled with intercepted passes and the game came right back toward them. Keepers for Amador had their work cut out for them, as indicative from the first goal; far out beyond the box and a rocket to the backside netting.
In the last 10 minutes of the 1st half, AVHS pressured MV keeper with shots on goal, but they went wide.
MV retaliated with a quick dribbling thru AVHS defense on a fast break and Amador Keeper made a great physical diving save to keep this one out. The 1st half did end 4-0, MV.

Second half showed promise for Amador as sporadic possession threatened Monte Vista and Amador posed some shots on goal. It was more of the same play by MV but definitely a different attack for Amador, as they secured some shots on goal and pressured for corner kicks. None transferred into scores, but Dons never gave up and acquiesced. There was back and forth possession throughout the second half,
with Amador shots increasing on goal in the last few minutes.

Overall, Monte Vista was a speedy and controlled team, securing the win 6-0.
Amador looks forward to the next game Thursday Jan 18, to demonstrate their strengths and show their abilities against Dougherty Valley High School.
