\nMatansa Yellow and Kanoa Orange prevailed in the women\u2019s division games in the 2014 Saipan Soccer School Futsal Fall League last Monday night at the TSL Sports Complex.<\/p>\n

Matansa Yellow downed Tan Holdings Green in the second match, 4-2, while Kanoa Orange edged Shirley\u2019s Blue in the curtain-raiser.<\/p>\n

Kanoa Orange built enough cushion in the first half of the 50-minute match to prevent Shirley\u2019s Blue for making a comeback. Kanoa Orange drilled seven goals in the first half with four of them coming from Irish Pagarao. Jurinah Navarro added three to give Kanoa Orange a 7-4 halftime lead. Diana Maniacop had a hat-rick for Shirley\u2019s Blue in the first half, while Nica Gariguez scored the other goal.<\/p>\n

Maniacop was still at it in the second half, firing two more goals, while Marilou Gariguez also lit up the board, but Shirley\u2019s Blues\u2019 three goals were not enough to overhaul the three-goal deficit they faced at the break. Irish Pagarao canned two more goals for Kanoa Orange in the second half for the insurance.<\/p>\n

In the second game, Matansa Yellow drew goals from three different players to beat Tan Holdings Green. Bernadette Horey had a pair, scoring in the first and second quarters, while Elna Curate added one in the second and Pinyarat Shanweiler hit one in the first half. Renita Fleming scored the lone goal for Tan Holdings, avoiding a shutout when she found her target in the second half.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the men\u2019s division game last Thursday, the Thundercats and Sun Palace posted contrasting wins.<\/p>\n

The Thundercats outclassed Matansa in the first match, 3-2. Hobin Lee led the Thundercats, drilling two goals in the first half. The Thundercats other goal was also registered in the first half, courtesy of Don Cabrera.<\/p>\n

Mohamad Hafizul Islam and TJ Gurung found the back of the net, too in the first 25 minutes of play, but both were without goals in the second half, as Matansa fell short of forcing a draw.<\/p>\n

In the second game, Sun Palace had four goals apiece in the opening and closing halves to win its first match in the league at the expense of Kanoa Orange, 8-3.<\/p>\n

Piao Heng Guo lifted Sun Palace to its debut win after making a hat-trick in the second half. Cai Hu and Jin Jihu chipped in two goals apiece while Guang Lin Li added one. Jack Phan scored a pair of goals for Kanoa Orange in the first half, while Kosuke Sato tallied the team\u2019s only goal in the second.<\/p>\n

Kanoa Orange absorbed its first loss in the division, failing to duplicate its 5-4 win over Matansa during the league\u2019s opening last Sept. 18. In the other game in the opener, Shirley\u2019s whipped the Thundercats, 7-3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
