Team Chicago Academy-Cruzeiro continued its dominance in the MRL Premier I Division with a comprehensive 5-0 win over NSA Shooting Stars to take its record to a perfect 6-0-0 with 21 goals for and 2 against.

In the 9th minute Alyssa Bombacino found Jordan King who played an inch-perfect diagonal pass to Riley O’Brien who calmly walked around the GK for the eventual game-winner. 2 minutes later Kerry Abello beat the last defender and buried her shot at the foot of the far post after Jamie Goralski and Riley O’Brien had pulled the outside backs wide with their runs. And with 5 minutes left in the half Jamie Goralski beat 3 defenders inside the penalty box before she was tripped for a clear PK. Jordan King stepped up and put the PK away.

In the second half the Cruzeiro dominance was complete, but only two additional chances were taken for the final 5-0 scoreline. Alyssa Bombacino made it 4-0 when she ran onto Kerry Abello’s perfect cross inside the 6-yard box, and Jordan King found Kerry Abello with another inch-perfect diagonal pass for the final goal of the game.

Bailee Witt did not have much work to do in goal. However, she did come up with a great save on NSA’s only shot on goal to preserve her 4th shutout in 6 MRL games this Spring.

Next up for Cruzeiro are 3 IYSA State Cup Round-Robin games against Eclipse (Sunday), FC United (Wednesday), and Rockford Raptors (Saturday 5/24).
