Spring 2003 -Game 3
The Scotch Plains U11 girls soccer team, the Gold Rush met their rivals the Orange Crush for the first time since last falls’ championship game and for the third straight
time the Gold Rush were 2-0 winners. Unlike the exciting championship game that was not decided until the final five minutes this one was decided by goals midway through each half. The victory assured the Gold Rush a first place finish in the regular season and a bye in the first week of the playoffs, slated for June 7.
Laura Toffolo tallied her third goal of the spring on a fine setup from Toni Ann Gattozzi.
Pelosi finsihed the scoring midway through the second half when she drove a hard low right footed shot from 10 yards.
Missing their star sweeper, Shannon Reimers, the Gold Rush were fortunate to have the versatile Caitlin Hoynes-O’Connor to fill in flawlessly. Katie Gartner and Eve Rosenheck shared the goal keeping duties and were well protected by the other defenders, fullbacks
Neha Pannuri,Sarah Lazarus and Jessica Moore. Amanda Rodriguez, who scored the game winning goal in last November’s championship match was all over the field from her halfback position and combined with pelosi,Toffolo and Gattozzi to dominate midfield. Allison Staniec, Christine Murphy, Nikki Hodulik and Christina Bobyack sparkled with their passing mostly from offensive positions.
After concluding their regular season on May 17, the Gold Rush will not play for four weeks.
