There was no “pay back” for the Millennium girls of Belize City on Sunday at the MCC Grounds, where they faced the team that beat them 2-1 the previous week in Orange Walk. Sugar City Girls promptly shut out Millennium this time, 3-nil, with 1 goal late in first half, and 2 more in second half. Speedy Sugar City striker, no. 10 Giselle Baizar shook the net at the 40th minute, and she returned early in 2nd half for her second goal at the 51st minute to make it 2-nil. The final tally to secure the 3-0 victory for Sugar City came from the very formidable #9 Karen Garcia. Outstanding Sugar City midfielder Natalie Macias says she is an American Peace Corps presently attached to the Ministry of Education in Belize on a 2-year stint. She hails from Los Angeles, California, and played on her college women’s team as well as for a while in the Women’s League.
Millennium, who were without a number of their star players, gave a gallant effort, especially sweeper Melonie Tasher and forward Sheriann Tracy; but a number of their other players need to work on their kicking technique, in which department the Sugar City squad showed clear superiority.
No word received yet on the other Female League game played yesterday at Norman Broaster Stadium between Gentle Touch of Esperanza and Sagitun of Independence.
