Pali win W-League
Championship
Expansion Blues rally from first deficit of the season to
win title
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA -- It’s not always the case that a game
can live up to the hype, but
the
Pali Blues 2-1 victory over FC Indiana in the W-League Championship game
will be remembered for ages.
The Pali Blues came out loose and relax and it showed early in the contest.
Pali was in control of the game early, dominating possession and getting
everyone involved. On the other hand, FC Indiana looked nervous and the big
game jitters definitely contributed to early FC Indiana miscues.
