The Lamorinda United U12 Navy Girls soccer team capped a great season with an exciting 2-1 victory over highly ranked COSC 01 girls' Red team from Fresno to win the State Cup Final.
The game started at a fast pace with both teams playing high level soccer. Midway through the first half Lamorinda took the lead when a corner by Anna Pitt was headed off the line by a COSC defender, only to be headed back into the goal by defender Monique Zarling. COSC leveled a few minutes later on a fast break attack. Just before half time a great defensive play by Avalon Scheone resulted in a pass to Katherine Liu whose powerful run took her past three defenders and then the keeper for what proved to be the winning goal.
In the final minutes a great save by goal keeper Mallory Louis preserved the victory for the Lamorinda girls.
