In an action-packed game sparked by lightning shots and dramatic saves, Magic's unselfish play paid off in a 3-1 victory over a powerful DFC Fire team.
"Our girls faced a very aggressive team and matched their intensity while keeping their composure," said coach Michael Jacobs.
Highlights included a "full sprawling save on a penalty kick which kept the momentum in our favor," said Jacobs. The Lamorinda-based futsal team represented a partial roster of Magic's 05 Girls team, which is coached during the regular season by Beto Zambrano.
