Carandolet VS Foothill EBAL Showdown

The 21st ranked Carandolet took on the 170th ranked Foothill in a EBAL battle. Carandolet came out on top to secure the points. They are the heavy favorites in the D2 California division and might be well on their way to a State Championship. The Cougars came out on top with a 2-0 victory and secured 3 more points.    She has really developed as an attacking presser she forced the Foothill defenders into a ton of mistakes with her relentless pressure at their back line. She scored a wonderful goal in the bottom left corner from just inside the penalty area after a great run and pass from her teammate.     Fantastic athlete. When she has space to open up she is a real threat down the right hand side for her Cougars side. She delivers cross after cross. She is a very physical defender who has an innate ability to get in between the attacker and the ball.     She has a weapon that very few players have and that's a long throw. It's a scoring opportunity anytime there's a throw-in level with the 18. She's very fast with her recovery runs and is very sharp in the tackle. Very aggressive going forward and isn't scared to dribble into space.     She's here, she's there, she's everywhere. Such a high motor from the USYNT star, endless energy. She takes every corner and most free kicks. She has an eagerness to get on the like no other. Her leadership skills and tactical awareness are her most under rated traits. Rarely do you see a freshmen, even a talented one like Karson, able to lead a team with teammates who are 2-3 years older.     Barajas had a great game for Foothill even if it was in a losing effort. Barajas battled and competed every single minute of the game to try and claw her team back into the game. She anticipates well and is very disruptive on defense.     Seeing Freshmen compete on Varsity is always something I love to see. Morales held her own out there tonight against a very good Carandolet team. She's the starting 9 on a good team in one of the best conferences in the state. Her game will continue to grow and flourish in this environment.     Giusto put her team in the lead with a well taken goal. It ended up being the game winner as the Cougars held on to a shutout. Giusto also played a major role in securing that blank as her positioning and timing defensively are very good. A productive two-game from the Mustang player.
