With the way the match was going, it seemed like the Madera Coyotes girls soccer team was going to record the first County\/Metro Athletic Conference victory in the CMAC\/Tri-River Athletic Conference showdown.<\/p>

However, Clovis West scored a goal in the 67th minute and held off numerous Madera attacks for a 1-0 victory Friday in Memorial Stadium.<\/p>

\u201cI thought we were going to get that win,\u201d head coach Cameron Hill said. \u201cWe had some big chances tonight. The girls played hard. You can\u2019t fault them.\u201d<\/p>

After a 2-0 loss to Buchanan-Clovis earlier in the week, the Coyotes played a better match against the Golden Eagles and had chances to score.<\/p>

\u201cI thought we played well,\u201d Hill said. \u201cOther than their goal, they had a couple of good chances in the first half, but in the second half, I don\u2019t remember them doing much. We defended well, we attacked well, we had chances to score, but just couldn\u2019t put the ball away. We had a lot of opportunities. We just didn\u2019t finish in the final third. They tried on goal.\u201d<\/p>

Although the CMAC went 0-5 in the first CMAC\/TRAC Showdown, Hill, who was the brainchild behind the showdown, was still happy with how his team did and how it will prepare them for the upcoming CMAC season.<\/p>

\u201cThis is the reason we did this and had it now instead of some random time in December,\u201d Hill said. \u201cA lot of people have been off. This is a good game to get you ready for league. Every game is a battle. The TRAC and CMAC are the same. No matter the team is, bad or good, every game is tough.\u201d<\/p>

Five minutes into the match, the Coyotes had a chance on goal when Jazzel Ruiz got the ball in front, but shot wide left.<\/p>

Madera goalkeeper Yesenia Montoya caught a high Clovis West crossing attempt in the 13th minute.<\/p>

Ten minutes later, Madera\u2019s Mariah Zapata settled the ball down in the middle and went to the left. Her 25 yard shot on goal went just outside the upper right corner.<\/p>

Clovis West got a chance with three minutes left in the first half with a steal in front of the Madera goal. Its 25-yard shot went wide left to keep the match scoreless.<\/p>

Just before the end of the first half, Clovis West got a corner kick. They sent the ball on goal and got a head on the ball, but the header went off the post and the rebound was lofted over the goal to keep the match scoreless at halftime.<\/p>

Eight minutes into the second half, Madera had a chance on goal. Zapata sent a free kick on goal just outside of the box on the left from about 15 yards out. The ball glanced off the wall of Clovis West defenders and the ball went on goal. The ball hit off the crossbar and Madera\u2019s rebound shot was cleared out.<\/p>

In the 11th minute, Madera\u2019s Penelopi Leach sent a pass for Jazmin Pinon, who passed it back to Leach. Leach flicked the ball back to Pinon, who shot from the right just wide on the left.<\/p>

Madera kept up the pressure when Sheyla Posos controlled the ball and crossed the ball to Leach in the middle. Leach sent a pass to Zapata who tried to settle the ball. She finally settled the ball, but her shot was batted over the net.<\/p>

On the ensuing corner, Zapata\u2019s kick was batted over. On the next corner kick, Zapata\u2019s kick was a little too high for a leaping Leach header on goal.<\/p>

Madera kept attacking in the 18th minute. Leach took the ball to the end line and crossed it to Zapata, but the Clovis West keeper covered the ball up.<\/p>

In the 27th minute, the Golden Eagles got on the scoreboard. Clovis West got the ball in front and took the ball to the right. The Golden Eagles\u2019 attacker got the ball by a defender and shot as Montoya was coming out to defend. The ball went over her head and into the back of the net for the only goal of the match.<\/p>

\u201cIt was a fortunate thing for them,\u201d Hill said. \u201cThe ball hit off our defender and it stopped the ball for them. She ran onto it. We had a miscue with who was going to come out with the defender and the keeper.\u201d<\/p>

Madera got a free kick from about 23 yards on the left in the 30th minute. Zapata sent the ball to the right side, but it was blocked out. On the ensuing corner, Evangelina Garcia\u2019s header was blocked out for Madera\u2019s final chance of the evening.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
