(Contributed Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Matansa Football Club-2 capped its campaign in  the 2019 Dove Spring Women\u2019s Futsal League on a high note after dominating MP United, 6-1, last Sunday at the TSL Sports Complex.<\/p>\n<p>Chautima Borja, Tawny Barcinas, and Chirapan Mcquire delivered in Matansa-2\u2019s last game with the former anchoring the team\u2019s offense after scoring three goals. Barcinas added a pair, while Mcquire chipped in one.<\/p>\n<p>Barcinas started things off for Matansa-2 with her shot in the 11th minute, while Borja wrapped up the first half with back-to-back goals to give their squad a promising 3-0 halftime advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Borja made it three in a row with her conversion in the 39th minute, while MP United finally lit up the board in the 42nd minute, thanks to Aimee Quito-Weiss\u2019goal. Three minutes after MP United broke its silence, Barcinas got her second goal, while Mcquire closed out for Matansa-2 in the 49th of the 50-minute match.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, TanHoldings also won its last game of the season (via forfeiture against Topnotch), while Kanoa and Matansa-1 settled for a draw, 6-6.<\/p>\n<p>Ivan Claire Gozon saved her best for last, firing five goals for Matansa-1, including the equalizer in the second half. Earlier in the first half, Gozon\u2019s hat trick kept Matansa-1 in the game, as Kanoa only led by one at the break, 4-3. Merlie Tolentino scored the first goal for Kanoa, while Melanie Santos logged the second, and Amelia Quintos nailed back-to-back to put their team on top.<\/p>\n<p>Two straight goals from Santos in the second half boosted Kanoa\u2019s chances to end the season with a victory. However, Matansa-1 denied Kanoa\u2019s bid, as Sombat Shankweiler\u2019s goal in the 44th minute cut the deficit two one before Gozon\u2019s fifth goal forced the standoff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matansa Football Club-2 capped its campaign in the 2019 Dove Spring Women\u2019s Futsal League on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":302635,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[2156],"class_list":["post-302632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-mpu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/302635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
