The Cougars did amazing against Grant Union, securing a 40-minute Special District 5 win. “Great atmosphere and energy,” said coach Danielle MacBride. “Everyone contributed to tonight’s success, and we’re excited for Tuesday’s match against Riverside.”

Shelby Blanchet, Kiera Sharp, and Jaycee Campbell each scored twice, while Emily Rose added one. PJ Royer’s corner kick led to an own goal by the GU keeper.

Goalkeeper Judy Royer had four saves and one assist, playing a supportive role in Echo/Stanfield’s strong defense, which has allowed only eight goals this season.
