EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. – Junior Holland Sperber scored the equalizer and senior Sofia Rabinovitz hit the go-ahead as St. Francis erased an early deficit to snare a 2-1 win over Oak Ridge in the varsity portion of another rain-soaked Sierra Foothill League girls' soccer tripleheader Thursday night.
The Troubadours win their third straight, improving to 12-5-4 for the year with a 6-5-2 league record. The Trojans even their overall record to 6-6-3, 4-6-3 in SFL play.
Furthermore, St. Francis moves into fourth place in the league standings with 20 total points. Del Oro continues to lead the SFL with 28 (8-1-4), Rocklin sits second with 25 (7-2-4) with Davis in third with 22 (6-3-4). The Blue Devils blanked the Thunder, 1-0, during Thursday's action.
Oak Ridge took the initial 1-0 lead just eight minutes into the contest on a rebound and putback. That held up through halftime and almost 23 minutes into the second half before Marissa Ow assisted Sperber on a goal to even the score at 1-1. Then in the 71st, Blough set up Rabinovitz for the game-winner.
The Troubies' win also extended an undefeated streak against the Trojans to 11 games, dating back to a 1-0 OR win in 2012, when both schools were members of the Delta River League.
St. Francis' JV Gold team opened the tripleheader with a 7-0 victory. No details are available from that game, nor from JV Red's 4-0 loss against the Trojans in the nightcap.
All three squads wrap up the regular season at Davis on Monday. Red begins the night at 3:30 p.m., varsity follows at 5:30, with Gold playing the nightcap at 7:15.
