Nadeshiko League Division 2 Ninth Round

Ehime FC Ladies  0 - 4  AC Nagano Parceiro Ladies
(Attendance: 147)

Another thoroughly dominant performance from Nagano, and a third hat-trick of the season for Yokoyama Kumi, sees the visitors go six points clear at the top of the table and seemingly on their way to promotion. Yokoyama's three-goal haul was supplemented by a third of the season for Saito Akane, one of three Urawa players to join Nagano this year.

Fukuoka J. Anclas  0 - 2  FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme
(Attendance: 328)

Kibi's second win of the season sees them climb out of the relegation zone while at the same time dump Fukuoka into the bottom position. Miyaji Asuka scored her first ever league goal to give the visitors the lead, with Hamamoto Marin also finally getting on the score sheet in 2015. Kibi are not out of danger but the two sides below them certainly appear to be less likely of recovery.

Japan Soccer College Ladies  2 - 4  Nittaidai SC Yokohama
(Attendance: 116)

The JSC took the lead against the visiting Nittaidai through Sakaguchi Yuki but by half-time were already well beaten, with Hirata, Maeda and Sakurai all scoring. The teams traded goals in the second half - Tsurumi Marina's first of the season replied to by Nozu Erika in additional time. Nittaidai stay level on points with Kanagawa rivals Nojima, while the JSC have dropped to ninth in the table and look vulnerable.

Sfida Setagaya FC  1 - 1  AS Harima Albion
(Attendance: 343)

Setagaya seemed to have gotten the better of Harima in a tight game with a goal with just three minutes remaining to break the deadlock as Tomiyama Hitomi scored a penalty kick to give the hosts the lead. A well-needed win was denied however, when Chiba Sonoko struck home her sixth goal of the season to keep her side within touching distance of Nojima in second.

Ange Violet Hiroshima  1 - 1  Nojima Stella Kanagawa Sagamihara
(Attendance: 732)

Although Tanaka Yoko scored from the spot to rescue a point for Nojima with twenty minutes remaining, cancelling out Akamine's opener, the visitors will feel that this is a case of two points dropped as they slip further behind leaders Nagano. Ange Violet stay seventh, and still look unlikely to trouble the top sides.
