The Pali Blues, a local women’s club soccer team, remained undefeated and increased their lead in the W-League’s Western Conference to four points with a 3-0 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps last Sunday in Canada. The Blues (7-0-0) return to the friendly confines of Palisades High’s Stadium by the Sea next Monday when they host the Fort Collins Force at 7 p.m. “On the soccer side of things, I was very proud of the way we played tonight,” Blues Head Coach Charlie Naimo said of the game against the Whitecaps. “Vancouver held strong and made it difficult for us to finish some first half chances, but our girls were resilient after halftime and got one early. In the locker room we all agreed we were playing well and just needed to stay the course with a little added intensity. It was an entertaining match.” Last Tuesday, the Blues acquired U.S. National Team player India Trotter. “Adding India is great timing,” Naimo said. “After losing (Sarah) Walsh and (Caitlyn) Munoz to injury, we needed to find a quality attacking player to replace them. India can play at a high level in any position, but we intend to find a role for her that will make us even more dangerous in our attack.”
