Disney Girls Soccer Showcase begins
January 1, 2011
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The Disney Girls Soccer Showcase began on Friday at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports.

As part of it, the U.S. Youth Soccer National League resumed action, and here are details of two of those contests.

In one of the U16 matches, Brandon FC Flames (Florida) and Eclipse Select 94-95 (Illinois) finished with a 2-2 draw.

“I think it was overall, a well played game,” said Eclipse coach Mike Nesci.

With both teams running similar systems, the similarities were evident.

In an evenly matched contest, Eclipse jumped on board first with a header from Katherine Treankler in the third minute. Her goal came off of a corner, with an assist from Caroline Pzydrowski.

Less than six minutes later, with the Flames looking for the equalizer, Alessandra Diloia hit the ball into the lower left corner to tie it a 1-1 in the 9th minute.

After some back-and-forth play by both squads, Brandon had the advantage in the 14th minute with a header from Jacqueline Simpson.

Eclipse was on the pursuit to tie the game and did so after some missed scoring chances early on, with a goal in the 32nd minute. Cory Levels took an attempted clear and then found the goal tie the match at 2-2.

Both teams continued to fight for a score but the game ended without either sticking one in the back of the net.

Naperville SA takes 3-0 win in U17

Naperville SA Premier Fury used a strong attack leading to a 3-0 win over United Futbol Academy 94 Elite.

“We did pretty well in the first half,” Howard Korn said. “We were able to hold them off. We had a couple of good chances.”

Corrine Harris of Naperville (Illinois) had three early scoring chances in a span of three minutes but she shook off the frustration with a pair of goals in the 31st and 36th minutes, giving the Fury 2-0 lead into the intermission.

Although United (Georgia) came out more aggressive early in the second period, Naperville stayed poised.

For United, Cheyna Williams and Mary Beth Bleekrode were hovering around the opposing box, looking to place anything into the back of the goal.

Naperville:

Corinne Harris — she scored two goals in the match and was a constant disturbance around the box.

Christina Ordonez — had some great shots on goal, including one just off the cross bar.

Zoe Swift — had some solid give-and-goes with the offense and helped create a presence on the left wing.

United Futbol:

Mary Beth Bleekrode — had several shots on goal in the last 20 minutes of the game.

Kala Faulkner — loaded some good crosses into the box in the second half.

Iyanna Moore — she focused on keeping the ball on the Naperville side of the field.
