PRESS RELEASE – The Personal Finance Center Lady Crushers capped an undefeated regular season showing in the Bud Light Women’s Futsal League with the 2017 championship title Sunday, winning against Quality Distributors 9-2 at the Guam Sports Complex gym.

A defensive lapse by Quality Distributors in final three minutes of the first half proved to be the game changer, as a barrage of goals by the Lady Crushers catapulted the team to a commanding 6-1 lead at the half.

Despite turning up the aggression on offense, Quality never recovered from the halftime deficit and was outscored by the winning team 3-1 in the second half for the final score.

Anjelica Perez and Colleen Naden combined for two-thirds of the Lady Crushers’ goal haul, each scoring a hat trick. Skyylerblu Johnson scored twice and teammate April Talledo scored the team’s other goal.
