Last Time Out
Webber International went 1-1 last week in two home conference match ups.

Against Thomas, the Warriors played great, posting a dominate 4-0 victory. The first half was tightly contested but in the 43rd minute, Abundez played a great ball to Jenna Murphy, who broke the deadlock. Webber International's offense took off in the second half, netting three goals. Abundez powered the attack, scoring a goal and assisting on another, securing the win for the Warriors

The Warriors closed the week out against (RV) SCAD. The Warriors and the Bees played a high-intensity match, seeing 29 shoots and five goals in the game.

Abundez put the Warriors ahead early with her eighth goal of the season. SCAD was able to equalize in the 38th minute sending the teams into half time tied at 1-1. Both offenses played well in the second half. Late in the second half, the Bees were able to score two unanswered goals to go ahead, 3-1. A two-point deficit did not deter the Warriors as they continued to push for goals. Multiple tight offside calls stifled the Warriors offense that was still able to fire off nine shots. With time running out, Abundez has able to net her second goal of the game, but the Warriors fell just short of a comeback.
