Galaxy vs. Timbers

The improvement of the Galaxy players continued, as Devin Ouellette, Sammy Marquis and Hannah Tarbox each turned in great performances in last Wednesday’s contest. Edie Shea covered a lot of ground and played well in the midfield position, and Livia Bouchard spurred several attacks with her clearances from the defensive end. Galaxy goal scorers were Logan Cheplic, assisted by Sammy Marquis; Riley Bouchard on a penalty kick; and Brevin Barnes, assisted by Bouchard.

The Timbers played well with outstanding performances from Caleb Espling, Matt Smith, Mia Theriault and Cody Martin.

Revolution vs. Red Bulls

Also last Wednesday, the Red Bulls team played with lots of heart and desire all game. Goals were scored by Sawyer Deprey and Ethan Holdsworth, who both had “hat tricks.” Avery Knowles had an assist in the game.

Team Revolution played very hard throughout. A great effort was turned in by Sage Dubay, Brooke Moir, and Josh Fortin.
