GAME PREVIEW
The Santa Clarita Blue Heat (3-0 West) have come out of the
gates this season in impressive fashion, going undefeated, not
allowing a goal scored against them and winning in a differing
matter of ways. In their season opener, they went up against
first-year side So Cal Crush FC and in the first installment of
their local derby, Santa Clarita was powered by two goal efforts
from Costa Rican international Carolina Venegas and Florida
State freshman Emily Madril in a 4-0 win. Two 1-0 shutout wins
over Real Salt Lake and Calgary have followed, as veteran goalkeeper Jojo McCaskill has made the important saves while FSU
standout Natalie Kuikka has been a great addition to an experienced back line.
The Houston Aces (0-2 West) were also minutes away from capturing the West crown last year and while they have fought bravely in their first two matches of 2017, they have yet to break the
deadlock in their favor. In both losses to Calgary and Real Salt
Lake, Houston was able to come from behind and tie the match.
Although, Calgary would forge ahead in their 2-1 win via goals
from Joelle Gosselin. And after going up 2-1 in last Saturday
night’s match at Real Salt Lake, the Aces defense would fold
their hand in the second half, allowing three unanswered goals
in a 4-2 loss. In an effort for their first win of 2017, Houston can
look back on their success in 2016: on June 18th, the Aces dealt
the Blue Heat their only home loss, a thrilling come-from-behind
4-3 victory that kept them in the title race.

GAME Recap
In a much anticipated rematch of the top two West Conference sides from the 2016 season, the 2017 home
opener for the Santa Clarita Blue Heat could not have
gone better. In front of a record home crowd of 800+
fans at The Master’s University on Sunday afternoon,
the defending UWS champion Blue Heat (2-0 West)
would get tested by the Real Salt Lake Women (2-2
West) but still notch the 1-0 victory. Santa Clarita veteran Kodi Lavrusky would net the only goal of the match
in the 56th minute while goalkeeper Jojo McCaskill
would get the shutout in goal (three saves).
The RSL Women would absorb a lot of early pressure
by the Blue Heat attack, but would settle into the flow
of the match as the first half progressed. 2016 UWS
Goalkeeper of the Year Becca Ritchie (five saves) made
a couple of saves to keep the visitors in the match.
Business would pick up in the second half for the hosts
as Florida State University star Deyna Castellanos put
her stamp on the match. A long-range shot in the 48th
minute would ring off the crossbar. Yet, it was Real Salt
Lake who almost scored first, but McCaskill would deny
forward Colette Smith’s close-range bid a few minutes
prior to Lavrusky’s game-winner.
In the 56th minute, Lavrusky would receive a pass from
Castellanos and than to proceed to muscle her way
through the RSL defense and notch the lone goal of the
match. Seven minutes later, the FSU standout looked
to open her scoring account for Santa Clarita but would
miss on a pair of long-range opportunities. The hosts
would go on for the 1-0 victory, putting the visitors in a
two-loss hole in the conference race. The Blue Heat
out-shot the Real Women by a 11-7 margin.
