Gilroy opens league with ‘W’
It was a back-and-forth game between Gilroy and Watsonville in the first half Friday, but the second half belonged to the Mustangs.
Gilroy broke a 2-2 tie and took control of the contest after the break to cruise to a 4-2 win over the hosts for its first win in Monterey Bay Gabilan League play (2-5, 1-0). 
Samantha Gonzalez broke the tie off a free kick just outside the penalty area. Gonzalez put the ball into the right corner, just out of the reach of the Watsonville goalie. 
Gilroy capped off its scoring in the 80th minute off a corner kick from Agust Gomez.
Gonzalez connected with Chelsey Robles for the first score of the game in the 16th minute, but Watsonville was able to tie up less than a minute later. 
Gomez found Connie Contreras later in the first half to help Gilroy regain the lead, 2-1. But once again Watsonville was able to tie it up just five minutes later for a 2-2 tie heading into halftime.
Gilroy will play at 5 p.m. Wednesday at San Benito.
