In the first game of the evening, the Fabulous Fireballs lit up the scoreboard in a 4-2 victory over the Scrubs, but it wasn’t without a fight. The Scrubs started strong, looking to impose their game early, but the Fireballs quickly showed why they’re one of the top teams in the league.

Nancy Meszaros put the Fireballs on the board first with a low shot that slipped past the Scrubs’ goalkeeper. With the early lead in their favor, the Fireballs found a rhythm, dominating possession and creating opportunities. It wasn’t long before Jenn Grieser doubled the Fireballs’ advantage with a well-placed finish after a clever pass from midfield.

The Scrubs didn’t back down, though. They managed to find a breakthrough when a quick counterattack caught the Fireballs off guard, and they pulled one back to make it 2-1. But just when it seemed like the Scrubs might build momentum, the Fireballs responded in force.

Kristen Oberhaus made it 3-1 with a brilliant strike that left the goalkeeper with no chance, and then, in the closing minutes, Lorisa Porter added a fourth goal to ice the game. Porter’s finish came after a perfect through ball, and she showed great composure to calmly slot it home.

Though the Scrubs fought hard and managed to score once more, the Fireballs were never truly threatened after that 4-1 cushion.
