The °µÍøAV Women's Soccer Team opened the fañomnÃ¥kan portion of the Guam Football Association Amateur Women's League on Jan. 20, 2019, by defeating the Lady Bombers of Andersen Air Force Base 6-0 at the GFA National Training Center.
The Lady Bombers had nine players to the Lady Tritons' full team of 11 players.
The fast-break offense the Tritons have become known for took some time to find the passing lanes, but at the 20-minute mark of the first half, the UOG squad scored for a 1-0 lead. The Tritons would score again before the half to lead 2-0 at half-time.

The Lady Tritons scored their third goal at the 53-minute mark of the game and then exploded for two more goals in the next three minutes to go up 5-0 on the Lady Bombers, putting the outcome safely in the Tritons' favor. UOG would score one more goal before the final whistle to win the match 6-0.
Ariya Cruz and Kaitlyn Cox scored two goals each for the Tritons while Elisha Benavente and Koholali'i Martens added one goal each. Cruz with 10 goals and Benavente with 8 goals are the two top scorers in the Amateur League.
In six matches, UOG has outscored their opponents 26-1 so far this season with five shutouts.
The Lady Tritons are now 6-0-0 for the season and play Team Mosas at 3:30 p.m. next Sunday, Jan. 27, at the GFA National Training Center.
