 The cold and cloudy weather wasn't enough to stop the DCU women's soccer team from displaying a great performance in their league match on Tuesday. However, despite their best efforts, the home side suffered a narrow defeat in Manute in the CULF Premier Division of the Rustlers League. DCU had a strong start with Amber Boret scoring the standout goal of the game in the first 15 minutes. However, Manute kept them on their feet looking dangerous throughout the first half. Naima Chuaoi's foot found the back of the net sending both teams into the dressing room for halftime level with a two-wall draw. The second half saw both camps upping the tempo in an effort to secure their win. Manute had the upper hands curing the first goal off the half. The DCU side didn't let this set them back and continued to put up a fight. However, the Manute team proved that they were the better side finishing the game with a strong goal from Narren Reiling. The game ended for three to Manute. Despite DC's best efforts, they were unsuccessful in their game against Manute. Manute's All-Ireland goalkeeper had a great performance throughout the game and Manute took more chances. We spoke to the Manute player to get her reaction from the game. I was a good game. I didn't think DCU had a good team, but they had a very good team, strong players, very competitive there. You have Amber coming in now from Manute University and she has a lot of experience. Even for the other girls I have like Carly, I saw Jade Reddy and Lynn and all them. Even Ashling, the captain there, just a very strong team. It was very impressive to come and play against.
