She was an important part of our midfield today, and she made a lot happen for us going forward.”East took control of the early stages, with midfielder Cabral pulling the strings and encouraging her team forward.West created a few chances from set pieces but the first half was marred with poor decisions in the final third by both sides.Tayla Horan had the best chance of the first half for the West, but she skied her shot midway through the period.Noah Autmezguine thought she had opened the scoring for the blue side, but West goalkeeper Terrinae Trott made a fantastic save with her feet early in the second half.Adae Gibbons whipped in a tantalising cross for East midway through second half, but none of her attackers were on hand to finish.
