The field conditions could not have been better: a clear sky with the shining sun hiding behind some clouds ever so often and a slight breeze coming from the east. These were signs of a new game about to be performed by the Omega Select U17G team. At the morning practice of game day, the team decided that they were going to focus more and do the little things to dominate and win the next game no matter what. Following up their morning pledge, Omega Select U17G stunned the Dominican Republic Women's National Team by scoring an early goal at the five minute mark. Shelby Potter with a defender on her back ,inside the box, shielded a pass from Dominique Ramirez then, she made a decisive pass on the left side of the box to Alexsondra Moar. The 15 years old came through again. She placed a one time rocket with her right foot in the top far left corner of the Dominican goal keeper who could only watch the ball crash into the back of the net. However, the Dominican Republic Women's National Team made it 1-1 late in the first half, from a corner kick. The Dominican number 11 forward, lept high above everyone to head the ball into the top corner of the net leaving no chance to goal keeper Karly Gustafson. Two minutes later, Gustafson, on a similar situation, deflected the ball above the transversal with the tip of her fingers. Otherwise, the number 11 again was in perfect position for another header. Halftime ended 1-1. -Like in the first half, Omega Select U17G came out strong and dominated the game both offensively and defensively. Ciara Conley on the right side and Alexsondra Moar on the left side were causing nightmares to their direct opponent with their speed and their dribbling skill. The holding midfielders, Dominique Ramirez and Aliyah Brown, took total control of the midfield with good distributions and great defensive positioning. The defenders, particularly Lucia Crosetti and Georgia Grzybowski, were masterful in the air and very tough on every tackle. Therefore, it was no surprise when Omega Select U17G took the lead in the 82nd minute to never look back. Estelle Esperance, the speedy attacking midfielder, scored the winning goal from a nice cut back pass of Alexsondra Moar that she calmly placed into the low left corner of the net. - Final score 2-1 in favor of Omega Select U17G.

Notable: Congratulations to Ciara Conley!
Her solid play caught the eyes of the Domincan Republic Head Coach who invited her to play for the Dominican U20 and Women's national teams in their future CONCACAF events. Ciara's grandmother is from the Dominican Republic.
