She jumped to the top spot after delivering a hat trick in their 6-3 victory over Shirley\u2019s Football Club last March 11. Pagarao earlier got one goal in Kanoa\u2019s season-debut win over TanHoldings Football Club, 4-1.<\/p>\n<p>The Kanoa striker is just slightly ahead of her teammate Paulyn Joyce and TanHoldings\u2019 Katrina Costales, who registered three goals apiece after two matches. Joyce notched a pair of goals in their first victory this season and added one more in Kanoa\u2019s triumph over Shirley\u2019s last month. Costales, on the other hand, posted all her three goals in TanHoldings\u2019 6-1 win over Shirley\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, two more TanHoldings players\u2014Kaithlyn Chavez and Britany Wally\u2014are very much in the race for the Golden Boot award as they have scored two goals apiece. Shirley\u2019s Jannah Casarino is the third player to earn two goals early in the season in Division A, while Kanoa\u2019s Sharmaine Francisco, Kristelle Itaas, and Stephanie Flores and Shirley\u2019s Marinel Falalimpa have one each.<\/p>\n<p>In Division B, Brennfleck and Hix are tied for the lead after making five goals apiece.<\/p>\n<p>Brennfleck had a rousing start this season after drilling a hat trick in Paire\u2019s 5-0 demolition of Kanoa and then collected twin goals in their shutout win over MP United 2 last March 11, 4-0.<\/p>\n<p>Hix joined Brennfleck on top after firing four goals and lifting TanHoldings to a 10-1 triumph over MP United 1 last month.
