9/15/12: Stampede sneak by San Juan

The Stampede eked out a 2-1 victory over the San Juan Spirits last Saturday at the Davis Legacy Soccer Complex.  Despite a couple of opportunities in the first half, it took the locals until about midway through the second to score their first goal which came from Grace Barger when she knocked in a ricocheting ball inside the six.  However, San Juan found the equalizer soon after. The hard fought contest remained knotted at 1 until late when an unmarked Anne Ayotte intercepted the now tiring defense's attempt to clear the ball, unleashing a left-footed blast from 25 yards out for the game winner.
