Lady Dores Bring their "A" Game to Willow Glen

Despite the warm weather and only having three subs, the Lady Dores did very well at the 29th Annual Willow Glen Jamboree. Overall, the girls went 2-1-2, scoring 12 goals!


Friday afternoon, MHS faced RLS and University, ultimately ending both games in a tie. On Saturday morning, despite flat tires and chronic blisters, MHS got off to a great start. Katie Poma (soph.), Chelsea Persons (sr.), Erin Enea (sr.), and Emily Grose (soph.) each scored goals helping the Dores beat San Jose 4-0. The next game, against Willow Glen B showcased our amazing forward line. Erin Enea scored 2 goals in the first half, followed up by goals scored by Dominique Grillo (soph.) and Katie Poma. The second half got off to a great start with Chelsea Persons scoring another 2 goals followed up by 2 more from Elise Reidy (soph.) Our defense and goalie, got to rest, cheering on the forwards to a win of 8-0. Despite a valid attempt to out play Homestead, the Lady Dores lost their last game against, 4-0.

Overall, MHS did an excellent job! In the past, the Willow Glen Jamboree has been a challenge, with MHS facing the "elite" teams of Mitty and St. Francis. This year we were able to grow as a team, develop our skills and score....12 times!! Great job ladies and thanks to all the parents for the snacks, shade, and support!!

Next game.....Monday, September 17th @ MHS vs. N. Salinas: Varsity- 3:30; JV- 4:30

See you on the field!
