A measure of capacity, equal to one hundred and eight gallons. See Measure. , and she wanted them to match her level of play. It got pretty intense.'' Ninth-graders Nicole Gilbert and Sara Riazi responded to their captain's request. As a result, time might be running out for Thousand Oaks and the rest of the league to catch the Warriors. Riazi netted the tying goal in the 47th minute off an assist from Gilbert, allowing host Westlake to rally for a 1-1 draw in its annual Super Soccer Saturday Gillette Soccer Saturday is a television programme broadcast on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland during the football season.

Both teams had their chances to break the tie in the final 15minutes, with Brain coming up with big saves on shots by Kylie Noun 1. kylie - an Australian boomerang; one side flat and the other convex kiley boomerang, throw stick, throwing stick - a curved piece of wood; when properly thrown will return to thrower McDonald and Kirsten DiPippo, and Katie Coulas' 20-yard shot sailing just over the crossbar for Thousand Oaks. ``I thought we created some good chances on our set pieces, but (Laura) made some great saves inside the box,'' said Marino, whose team extended its league unbeaten streak to 19. ``They scored a great goal on a great cross with a great finish, and I give them credit for that. But I'm happy with the result because people still have to catch us.'' The result was important for the Lancers, considering freshman standout Michelle Cruz was at an Olympic Development Program camp in Carson and the team suffered a 4-0 loss to Westlake on Dec.20. ``It's out of our hands now with Westlake,'' Raives said. ``But if we can continue to win games, hopefully we can put pressure on them.'' erik.boal@dailynews.com (818) 713-3607 |
