Another note on the "stalling" comments - as I understand it, there are a couple different ways to stall - 1) attempting to keep possession of the ball as long as possible without actively going on the offensive, and 2) taking your time when you have a throw-in, corner kick, etc.
Regarding #1, one of the objects in soccer is to possess the ball, whether you are attempting to move the ball forward, or merely playing "keep-away." You cannot score if you don't have the ball - on the other hand, you can't win a game if you don't try to score, either.
Regarding #2, one of the great things about soccer is that the referee is the only person who keeps time. If he witnesses a player intentionally taking an excess amount of time to put a ball into play, he/she has the option to add time to the end of the “official” game time, i.e., Stoppage Time. Even though I was pulling for JI during the game, it appeared that the center ref added more than enough time to compensate for any “stalling” by the WA girls.
