Orland 2, Willows 1

The Lady Trojans got the win on Friday afternoon, when they hosted Willows.

The Trojans scored the first two goals of the game, with the first hitting the net in the 23rd minute and the second coming from the Orland side landing in the 33rd. Yaneth Munoz and Alejandra Valdivia scored Orland's goals.

A hand-ball penalty on Orland gave Willows an opportunity to score, and the Honkers did so, when striker Adriana Flores nailed one in past the keeper to make the score 2-1.

Willows' stopper Jessica Mendiola had an outstanding game, and played excellent defense against a high scoring Orland team.

The Honkers (3-10-3, 2-1-2 SVL) faced off against Live Oak at home Tuesday.
