Monterey traveled to York on Friday to begin their preseason opening week. The Lady Dores showed promise early on in the game, earning six penalty corners in the first fifteen minutes of the game. York had a tough time stopping the flow of Junior Forward, Laura Weinbrenner and Senior Midi, Domenique Grillo. The "Wein-Grillo" passes proved to be a sure fire way to out smart the York defense. Weinbrenner scored off a penalty corner 18 minutes into the first half. Senior Midi, Emily Grose, answered back with a goal seven minutes after Weinbrenner. York struggled most of the game, failing to break through the Lady Dores' defense of Seniors Kathrn Harkins and Jaque deLeuw, along with Juniors Esther Kim and Jodie Nakajima.The second half of the game was once again controlled by MHS, with another goal by Weinbrenner and two by Grillo. Junior Christina Wood scored on a solo run down the field, bringing the final score to 6-0. Sophomore Goalie, Taylor Mercurio, replacing All-League Goalie Lauren Crees, had her first save and shutout on Varsity. The pumped up Dores will travel to Carmel Middle to take on the Padres of Carmel High School on Friday at 3:30.
