The Trailblazers (1-0) started hot, with an Emma Mallet goal four minutes into the match, which was moved from Tolton to Jefferson City and its turf field because of the inclement weather. After a lull in scoring, the final 12 minutes of the first half featured three Tolton goals — two of which came in the last three minutes.

This reality put Ferrao, who had worked for the city for just about a year, in a difficult spot. She initially took a leave, but it expired Monday, she said.
