Well, Wednesday provided quite the shocker.

It was all Newman throughout the contest, however, as they kept threatening with three minutes left. The Cardinals, now 1-0 in the league, are still undefeated at 8-0 overall. The Jaguars are 6-1, 0-1.
Elsewhere, Maria Carrillo beat Montgomery 1-0 on a penalty kick by Maddie Graham. Pumas goalkeeper Brynn Korpela earned another clean sheet.
