Girls ECNL Recap: FC Delco U17s end the year with a bang

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>FC Delco's ECNL girls 2006 team ended 2022 with a half dozen goals in a lopsided win over Pipeline at home last weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>FC Delco went up early on an own goal and Amelie Stewart scored the first of her two goals on the day before halftime. The second half was an offensive showcase from FC Delco as they found the back of the net four more times and created a slew of other chances. [player_tooltip player_id='26018' first='Victoria' last='Angelo'] had a brace, Stewart scored her second and [player_tooltip player_id='25706' first='Aubrey' last='Beaugard'] scored off a great through ball from [player_tooltip player_id='25867' first='Kendall' last='Ricca']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Angelo also hit the crossbar in the first half and Ariel Katz was pulling the strings with assists on both of Angelo's goals. [player_tooltip player_id='54429' first='Payton' last='Riley Quinones'] was also active in turning defense to offense, helping to create a couple goals and starting promising counter attacks on several other occasions. [player_tooltip player_id='25838' first='Julia' last='(Casey) Forman'] was a spark in the midfield, displacing the ball, switching the field and creating chances. She was a fingertip save off the crossbar away from finding the scoresheet herself and had a promising well-taken header sail wide of the mark.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/TPSobF2bjGs","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/TPSobF2bjGs </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>Though few and far between, Pipeline did have some bright attacking moments through [player_tooltip player_id='22710' first='Riley' last='Ledet'] going the other way and [player_tooltip player_id='22598' first='Gabrielle' last='Jennings'] and [player_tooltip player_id='22658' first='Lauren' last='Toms'] made some noteworthy plays to put out fires and relieve some of the pressure but for the most part the scoreline was indicative a day that belonged to FC Delco. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The team heads into the winter break unbeaten in four straight (3 wins, 1 draw) after starting the season with a 2-0 loss to CESA Liberty.
