Edwards With the Game Winner as Royals Defeat Oaks 2-1

Irvine, CA – The Hope International women's soccer team (10-3-2, 4-1-1 GSAC) took down the Menlo College Oaks 2-1 on Saturday afternoon at OC Great Park Field 18 in Irvine, CA.

The Royals controlled the first half as they spent most of their time in the Oaks half as they created their first chance seconds into the game but Olga Luna's header couldn't beat the keeper. The Royals would then break the deadlock in the 12th minute as Ryley Canderlario found Lauren Lizarraga who launched a shot from the top of the box over the head of the keeper to make it 1-0. The Royals defense led by goalie Haley Slouka then clamped down and allowed just one shot as they took a 1-0 lead at halftime. 

The Royals continued to push for more after the break but it was the Oaks who would find the equalizer in the 56th minute to make it 1-1. The deadlock wouldn't last long as Ashlyn Edwards stole a backpass from the Oaks keeper than raced in on goal and calmly finished to put the Royals up 2-1 in the 58th minute. From there the Royals defense shut down the Oaks as they emerged with a 2-1 victory. 

The Royals continue action at home as they host Bethesda on Tuesday October, 24 at 7:00 PM for senior night at OC Great Park Field 18 in Irvine, CA.
