MC then scored three more goals in the first quarter, advancing to a 10-1 lead by halftime. Junior Madi Barsi scored Redwood’s first goal two minutes into the game.
MC, the number two-seeded team last season, showed a strong offense that Redwood worked hard to hold off. Junior Jennifer Schoonover scored twice in the second half, allowing Redwood to match MC’s second-half play. Goalkeeper Laurel Doyle faced lots of action and made several saves under constant pressure.
