Recap: Caity Ashley broke out of a season long scoring drought scoring all 3 Falcon goals in a 3-2 road win at Handley. The first goal came past the midway point of the first half when she lobbed a miscleared ball goalward and the bounce beat the Handley goalkeeper. The score remained 1-0 until early in the second half when Caity got behind the Judges back line and easily beat the Handley keeper for what appeared to a a comfortable 2-0 lead. Handley responded, however, scoring from a direct free kick just outside the 18 yard box to cut the Falcons' advantage to 2-1. Caity scored what turned out to be the game winner with about 15 minutes remaining when Mia Barreda played a beautiful through ball to Caity who calmly lifted the ball over the oncoming Handley goalkeeper giving the Falcons a 3-1 lead. Handley continued to press and cut the margin to 3-2 late in the second half when a shot from the right wing struck the crossbar and bounced into the path of an oncoming Handley striker who headed the ball into the back of the net. The Falcons held on for the remainder of the second half for a difficult away win.
