Guam High girls strikers reach IIAAG title match
Published: December 9, 2010
They're in the finals for the first time since winning the league in 2003!
Hayley Savoy scored in the 25th minute and keeper Melanie Strudthoff’s save in the 38th minute helped it stand up as Guam High blanked St. John’s 1-0 in Thursday’s Independent Interscholastic Athletic Association of Guam girls soccer tournament semifinal.
Guam High (10-1-2) will face Notre Dame, a 2-0 winner over the Panthers during the regular season in Saturday’s championship at Leo Palace Resort Field 1. Kickoff is 7 p.m.
The match was cut short when Savoy collided with Knights goalkeeper Rayann Tiann; after a delay waiting for an ambulance, Tiann was taken to a local hospital. By coaches’ agreement, the match was called off in the 50th minute.
Strudthoff pitched her seventh shutout in 10 matches this season, channeling her innermost Jessica Charles, the keeper who backstopped Guam High's 2003 campaign.
