The Pacifica United Strikers, Girls U13 team travel to Reno
for the 2010 Reno Zephyr Tournament.
June 2010
Twelve teams from California, Oregan and Nevada gathered in Reno for this years tournament.
The Strikers had a great tournament with some excellent team play and fine individual performances. They played great defense all weekend with fullbacks Corey Rhodes and Skye Hammer at the top of their game. Brianna Falk scored a great goal volleying home a cross from close range and Jessica Parque was a nightmare for opposing defenders with 7 goals scored from the five games played
In bracket play, Game #1. Strikers 2 Sierra Galaxy 0, Game #2. Strikers 3 Tahoe Classic 1. Game #3. International Germany 3 Strikers 1.
The two wins and 1 loss were enough to get the Strikers into the semi final where they would face the fancied Placer United Prestige who had won all their bracket games, scored 12 goals and conceded 0 goals.
Semi-final: Pacifica Strikers 1 Placer United 0.
The Strikers played their best game of the year in this game. Fullbacks, Corey Rhodes and Skye Hammer were on fire and kept the dangerous outside forwards from getting past them. This, coupled with the usual steady play of centerbacks Frances DeFreitas, Jordan Kotlar and goalkeeper Katelyn Brown, made it difficult to score. The Strikers controlled midfield play where Coralie Ringuette, Lina Miller, Sarah Walley, Taylor Russell, Sara Acquisti and Fiona Benjamin moved the ball well and strong play from Madison Kavanaugh and Barbara Alberts never allowed the Placer team to get anything going. Jessica Parque scored the only goal of the game with an unstoppable shot in the first half which gave the Strikers the lead that they would never relinquish. Forwards Brianna Falk and Marena Kibblewhite, working tirelessly up front and also had chances but Placer only allowed the 1 goal which kept the game exciting right to the final whistle.
Final: Strikers 1 Santa Rosa Cyclones 2.
The Santa Rosa team played with more energy than the Strikers and jumped out to a 2 goal lead in the first half. The Strikers have always been a good second half team and fought their way back into the game with a goal from Jessica Parque but the girls were unable to get the equaliser.
The Strikers were disappointed not to win the final but looking back, they should be proud of how well they played.

PUSC Voltage U18 GIRLS Win 2009 District Cup
District II Cup is the largest youth soccer competition in the California Youth Soccer Association North, and one of the largest in California. District II extends south from San Francisco to Monterey, and does not include Pacifica, but this year District I teams were allowed to enter. Playing in the U19 Girls Silver division, the U18 Pacifica United Soccer Club Voltage played some tough teams over two days in Morgan Hill to take the Cup title. This is the Voltage’s first season playing together.
A great jobs from their leadership to pull this team together and have them playing at such a high level! GREAT JOB, and congratulations to all.
