Girls Futsal - PASPOA v. EABH: A Big Win for The Lady Hawks

The first EABH game of ISSL season 2 started at 9:00 p.m, April 2nd, with a tense girls' futsal match against PASPOA, the Pan American School of Porto Alegre. Since the beginning of the game, the energy of the Hawks and the Huskies, especially the crowd, was electric. Chants echoed through the court as there were multiple goal attempts from both sides. Gabriela Muzzi (1) made crucial saves, while Marina Cambraia (10), Malu Motta (9), and Carol Bonato (4) made several strong attempts to score, most of which unfortunately hit the crossbar. 

Futsal captain Mariana Lanna (13) showed great skills and ball control. Unfortunately, the Huskies quickly picked up on her talent and marked her heavily, often with multiple players on her. However, this tight marking on Mari created space for her teammates to attempt more goals. 

As the second half of the game began, Malu Motta (9) scored a goal, which set up the tone for an aggressive and attacking game from the Hawks. Unfortunately, shortly after her goal, she was injured and had to leave the court. Helena Dias (6) came in as her substitute, bringing eagerness and energy to the game.  

The final score was 1-0 marking a victory for the Lady Hawks. With determination and teamwork, they had the perfect start for their ISSL Season 2 journey
