Filipinas back with a bang

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine women’s football team made a smashing return to action and clobbered Jordan, 3-0, in its kickoff gig in the Pink Ladies Week tourney Saturday night in Antalya, Turkey.

Sarina Bolden fired a brace while Katrina Guillou wrapped up scoring as the Filipinas handled business with efficiency in their first match after a six-month layoff.

“It’s going to take a bit of time to build what we want in terms of our playing style but the most important thing is we got a win,” said coach Mark Torcaso, whose squad is employing a new attacking-oriented game.
