Eagles Blue improved to 3-0 with another convincing victory, 12-2 over Fairfax.
As happened last week, Eagles struck multiple times in the first ten minutes. With a little under two minutes gone in the game, David gathered a free ball, drove to the left side of the box and placed a pretty shot just inside the right goalpost.

At the five-minute mark Mateo gathered a Nicholas shot that bounced off the defender to the left side of the box and, just as David did 3 minutes earlier, drove it just inside the right goalpost with his left foot.

Just three minutes later, David was taken down by a Fairfax defender about 15 feet outside the top of the box. Mateo hit a blistering free kick past several Fairfax defenders for Eagles Blue’s third goal.

At 24 minutes Garrett made a run down the left side, took a very hard shot that the goalie could not handle, and James put away the rebound to make it 7-0 Eagles Blue.

Ethan made some great plays as goalkeeper, stymieing several Fairfax breakaways, to notch his second half of clean sheet work this season.
Once relieved of his goalkeeper duties, Ethan showed his prowess in the field just six minutes into the second half, taking a pass from Marty, driving past a defender, and launching a long shot over the keeper’s head to make it 9-0 Eagles Blue.
