Eleanor drills one low from 25-30 yards, their keeper gets a hand to it but Alex beats her to the rebound and the keeper trips Alex for a PK, which Alex calmly puts away.

GOAL!
Noelle plays it into Alex who plays a great low cross and Mia scores on a lovely 1-touch flick to the side netting. Louisiana Fire has absolutely dominated this rematch of the 2013 regional final that Fire won in overtime.
4-0 Louisiana Fire!

Another goal for FC Alliance. 4-2. Very lethargic and poor half by Louisiana Fire, just did not come out in the second half to finish the job strong.

Final 4-3 Brilliant first half, best half of the tournament. Shockingly lethargic second half, by far the worst of the tournament. But it puts Louisiana Fire into the final tomorrow against Albion Hurricanes in a rematch of the first game!

Play stopped for several minutes as Mia Dubroc is down, having been hit from point-blank range in the neck/face as the defender kicked a hard clearance. Kassandra Ortega will come on for her when she is able to get up and off the field. Still down and being treated. Defender certainly did nothing wrong, just cleared the ball and Mia (as always) played hard, full-speed to make a block.

Mia is carted off, Kass subs on for her after 7-8 minute delay, and play resumes.

GOAL Eleanor smashes a volley from the top of the box on a cross from Kassandra Ortega! Keeper dives and gets a touch but can't keep it out!
2-0 LOUISIANA FIRE!
Comes at a good time, Albion had started to put us under a little pressure winning a corner kick and shot over the bar in quick succession.

Emily Ellison subs on for Sam Jordan.
GOAL LOUISIANA FIRE!! 3-0!
Eleanor drives down the middle and plays it to Alex Thomas who turns the defender and hits a low finish to the left side netting. Albion had started to work their way back into the game with some decent possession and dangerous balls near our box, but now Fire has a commanding lead.
Hopefully today the girls will avoid the lapse in concentration we saw yesterday after earning a similar lead....

3-0 Louisiana Fire at halftime. Very solid and well played first half.
Mia Dubroc has returned from treatment by the medical staff and is fine to play in the second half.
Just 45 good minutes away from a second trip to Nationals....

Water break with 20 minutes left. We had a goal disallowed for a questionable-looking foul as Noelle turned past a player and crossed it to Alex for a tap-in. Still 3-1.
