California Cup, Gold Division, Champions

The Placer United U13G 03 Black team won the gold division of the California Cup this past weekend. They opened up with a convincing 3-0 win over the Central Marin Magic and then drew 1-1 with Galt FC. The win and draw were enough to propel the girls to the semi-finals. In the semis, the girls won a nail biter, 2-1 versus the Ethos Saints. The game looked like it was going into overtime until goal two was scored by Hannah Zieour to win the game in the last five minutes. The final game was played against Nevada Elite Football 03 Blue that had Nevada scoring the first goal. Placer began the 2nd half scoreless. With both teams determined to play hard to the end, there was only one minute left in the game when Placer came up with a goal by Sydney Johnson. After going into two overtime periods, Placer nailed it in PK’s, stopping two of Nevada’s goals with Placer getting four goals into the net! Over the weekend, the girls scored six goals and only conceded two en route to their first tournament championship. A hard earned Cal Cup win for Placer! Congratulations to the girls and Coach BJ! —contributor Maryann Zywot
