With the scheduled season opener cancelled due to weather, ACA opened its season over the weekend in Foley, AL at the Southern Shootout Tournament. The Eagles won a pair of games Friday as they defeated Oneonta, 10-0, and Benjamin Russell, 7-3. Four players scored goals in Friday night’s contests led by Michaelyn Manning with nine goals, followed by Madison Foshee and Katelyn Sutton with three goals each and Marlo Duggan with two goals. Alabama Christian finished the tournament with a 8-1 victory over Bayside Academy. Goalie Jadyn Gonzalez only made three saves in the final match due to the strong defensive effort in front of her. Gonzalez was in goal for all three games over the weekend and allowed only four goals in three matches. Once again, Michaelyn Manning led the way with four goals scored. Presley Lewis scored twice while Madison Foshee and Katelyn Sutton each tallied a goal. In the opener against Oneonta, Michaelyn Manning joined Janie Szobaszlay as the only Lady Eagles to score 100 goals in their career.
