After suffering back to back loses in Arizona at the hands of FC Tucson Women and Phoenix Del Sol in their most recent road trip to Arizona, SD Parceiro Ladies were looking to get back on the winning track on the road against LAGSD on Saturday. Parceiro Ladies (1-3-0) played with a full squad against their crosstown rival LAGSD (2-0-2) unlike their previous two match where the team only had a dozen players make the trip. The game would start out even in the first 20 minutes with both squads trying to assert their momentum.

Despite their efforts, LAGSD would put the game away by halftime with three goals in the span of 20 minutes (21st, 28th, and 41st minute) taking a 3-0 lead into the locker room. SD Parceiro controlled possession for most of the second half as they tried their best to get back in it. "We played a good team today, but couldn’t put all the pieces together," said Parceiro Ladies Midfielder Gianna Montini. "It was a tough loss, we made a few crucial mistakes that cost us in the end, but we put it together second half and got a goal in the last few seconds" said Parceiro Ladies Midfielder Gianna Montini.
