Bahia starts MRL league play!
Team Chicago Academy-Bahia got off to a solid start in the U13 Girls Midwest Regional League Premier I Division this weekend.
On Saturday morning the team lost to Grand Rapids Crew juniors 2-0. Bahia was out played for the majority of the first half and the opponent did a nice job possessing the ball. The second half proved to be in Bahia’s favor but they couldn’t capitalize on their chances.
On Saturday evening Bahia defeated Michigan Jaguars FC 1-0 who are the reigning state champions. The goal was created when Paige Miller played a nice through ball to Sophia Majher. Sophia made a great first touch to seal off the defender and then continued her run at goal to calmly finish her chance by slotting the ball past the keeper. Bahia dominated possession the entire game and created some great opportunities. They nearly doubled the score on a great build up that had Lauren Douglass come out of the back. Lauren dribbled to the end line and served a perfect ball back to Emma Crosswait who just missed with her shot going over the cross bar. The result was a great team effort with solid performances by everyone.
Bahia travels to Ohio this weekend for two more MRL matches.
