The U13 girls black team won the title in the bronze division of the Placer United Girls Cup.  They got off to a rough start, falling to Cap FC 2-0.  The girls came back with a vengeance and won two games in a row.  They defeated Cal Odyssey Earthquakes 5-2 and FC Royale Phoenix 4-1.  That set the stage for the rematch with Cap FC and the girls came out on top with a 2-0 victory and the championship.
