The Allen Lady Eagles came to Pearce on Tuesday, January 26th, determined to win a rematch with our Lady Mustangs. Bringing enough players to field two teams at once, they hit the pitch with aggressive strength and challenged our Lady Mustangs to give their best game efforts, especially since the Pearce players numbers were reduced due to injuries. Keeper Rosa Medina did a great job keeping the shots out of the net! Defenders Maddie Harper, Kaitlyn Fletcher,Gayle Ziegler, and Celia Beron worked hard to send the ball forward out of the final 18, with help from defensive midfielder Sarah Rivers and mids Hannah Tessaro and Kiele Miller. Kathryn Watson,
Taylor Matthews and Brooke Johnston utilized their passing skills and fired shot after shot to no avail: nothing got by the Allen keeper in the first half.
The second half opened with both teams seeking to end the 0-0 draw. Players challenged at both ends of the field, but after multiple throw-ins, free kicks and corner kicks, Gayle Ziegler took a ball popped past the defense by Brooke Johnston, drove it up the field and rocketed it into the net for the winning - and only - goal of the evening! Lady Mustangs 1 - Lady Eagles 0

Tuesday night, January 19th, found the Lady Pirates of Mesquite Poteet visiting on our home field. Aggressive from the opening whistle and encouraged by vocal supporters, the Lady Pirates served notice that they were here to challenge our reigning State Champions. It only took 5 minutes, however, for our Lady Mustangs to assert their prowess: Hayley Kerr served an excellent ball to Brooke Johnston who shot a 30 yard bullet into the goal to put our Lady Mustangs up 1 - 0. Play was centered on the offensive side of the pitch thanks to the outstanding defense of Celia Beron, Kaitlyn Fletcher, Maddie Harper, Hayley Kerr and Megan Stewart, with Rosa Medina in goal. Gayle Ziegler kept busy taking free kicks and making amazing throw-ins, while Kathryn Watson and Brooke Johnston played rough and tumble with the Lady Pirates.
The second half witnessed 3 yellow card penalties on the Lady Pirates, but our Lady Mustangs were undaunted. Kathryn Watson made a nice touch on the ball, sending the score up 2 - 0, with the sweet assist by Sheina Tolmas.
