NOFA
lady booters
beat Cagayan rivals
BY CEDELF TUPAS
Negros Occidental FA emerged from its shell yesterday to trounce Cagayan de Oro-Misamis Oriental, 4-1, and keep its semifinal hopes alive in the PFF National Women's Open Football Championships in Dumaguete City.
Silay City-born striker Darlene Divinagracia scored twice at the Foundation University pitch as the NOFA lady booters rebounded from a humiliating 8-0 setback at the hands of title favorite NCR Monday.
"The team ran out of steam against a more experienced
NCR team maybe because it lacked preparation. But I'm happy the players
were able to play true to form today," said NOFA coach Ronnie Tornilla,
whose squad is sponsored by 2Go-Aboitiz and supported by Dynamic Builders
Inc. Diaz scored on a breakaway in the 4th minute with a deft finish
from close range. She doubled the lead three minutes into the second
half when she pounced on a goal-mouth scramble inside the box.
