Colton, CA—Tonight, girls soccer plays for the San Andreas League title against Rim of the World. This game comes after their 3-1 victory over San Gorgonio on Tuesday.

Bianca Soto finally broke through in the last couple minutes of the first half, scoring on a drive to put Colton up 1-0 going into the break.

In the second half, after a pep talk from the coaches, the girls came back with higher intensity, more communication and fought for the win. 

Anna Bailey struck first, scoring at the 34:41 mark of the half to go up 2-0.

Unfortunately, minutes later, the Spartans scored on a free kick to close the gap, 2-1.

At 13:25, Bianca Soto showed off her skills and put the game away as Colton extended their lead to 3-1.
