Falcon women, Fresno play to 0-0 draw...again

The Folsom Lake and Fresno City women's soccer teams have a long history of extremely close matches - many of them in the playoffs - and Friday night proved to be no different.  Playing in front of a spirited Falcon Stadium crowd, the two teams went head-to-head for 90 hard-fought minutes with neither squad successful at finding the net.  Both goalkeepers were outstanding and were forced to make a littany of stops.  The play on the field was superb with the Rams gaining the possession advantage for most of the first half of play.  In the second half, however, the Falcons seemed to gain confidence and had many more scoring opportunities than during the first 45 minutes.  Both teams pushed the limits in the final 10 minutes as they tried to find the winning goal.  Credit goes to outstanding defense on both squads!

Falcon golkeeper Grace Filiau had a terrific game with 8 saves as she recorded yet another shutout.  The Falcons, now 5-0-2 in non-conference play - will play one more non-conference match before starting into Big 8 Conference play next week.  They'll host West Valley (2-7) on Friday night at 6:00 pm.
