The report says Westwood built a 2-0 half-time lead, with Cameron Roche and Mia Campesi providing the early breakthrough. Their first-half efficiency separated the teams after Waldwick, seeded 11th, struggled to contain Westwood’s attacking pressure.
The victory also appears to have been built on a broad attacking contribution rather than one-player dependence. Alexis Grigoriou reportedly supplied two assists, while Angelina Avila added another.
Waldwick found a route back into the contest after the interval through Mia Christiansen, according to the report. The goal gave the lower seeds an opportunity to turn the match into a tense finish.
Westwood answered through Meadow Garcia, whose second-half goal reportedly restored the two-goal cushion and completed the 3-1 scoreline. At the other end, goalkeeper Kayla Krenn made seven saves, helping Westwood protect its advantage. Waldwick goalkeeper Melanie Abson is also reported to have made six saves despite conceding three times.
The report places Westwood’s record at 9-4 heading into the quarter-final, while Ridgewood are seeded three places higher. The neutral setting at Indian Hills removes home advantage, leaving Westwood to prove that their last-16 performance can translate against stronger tournament opposition.
The next fixture will test Westwood’s defensive resilience and attacking balance. Ridgewood’s higher seeding makes them the apparent benchmark, but Westwood’s spread of goals and assists gives the underdogs a credible platform for another upset.
