EDINBURG, 20 Jan. - Diana Cobarrubias scored four goals in two games to propel Edinburg Economedes to the Edinburg CISD Lady Cats Tournament title Saturday at Edinburg Robert Vela High School Mini Stadium.

Economedes defeated a dominant Sharyland "B" squad 3-2 in the championship match of competition. Cobarrubias notched a pair of goals and Sofia Hernández tallied another to give the Lady Jaguars the title.

In the semifinal match against Weslaco, Cobarrubias and Hernández scored a pair of goals each to defeat the Lady Panthers 5-1. Nicole Hernández tallied the other Lady Jag goal. Maribel Anaya scored for Weslaco.

Weslaco claimed third place with a 2-0 victory over Roma prior to the final match of the tournament. Selena Cruz and Krystal Cavazos notched the game-winning goals for the Lady Panthers that assured them the third place spot.

Roma narrowly missed advancing to the title game. The Lady Gladiators played to a scoreless draw against the Lady Rattlers’ "B" squad in regulation time. Sharyland defeated Roma 5-3 in penalty kicks to advance to the final against Economedes.

Last weekend, Economedes turned quite a few heads with a strong showing at the 10th Laredo Border Olympics.
