Pacific Palisades, CA – The Pali Blues returned home to Stadium by the Sea to take on the Colorado Rush Thursday night at Pacific Palisades High School. The Blues dominated the match and limited the Force to only two shots while earning a 2-0 victory.

Head coach Jacob Tudela shared his thoughts on the match. “We played our style, we possessed the ball and we dictated the match for 90 minutes,” he said. “We didn’t let the Force take us out of our element until maybe the last 15 minutes. Our defenders responded really well from the away trip where we conceded goals. The awesome stat is that we didn’t allow a shot on target and only allowed two off target. It was a good three points, and a well-deserved win for the girls.”
