U13B Black, Santa Rosa United Nike Harvest Cup Champions

The U13B Black team, coached by Matt Scammacca, had a great undefeated run through the Santa Rosa United Nike Harvest Cup soccer tournament. They scored 13 goals and conceded 0.  In Game 1, the boys got off to a great start by defeating Santa Rosa AC Milan 3-0. In Game 2, they defeated the Black Oaks of Healdsburg, 7-0.  The boys had already clinched a spot in the finals before their third game. In Game 3, the boys went up against Santa Rosa Black Oaks and the game ended in a 0-0 draw. In the championship game, the team once again faced Santa Rosa Black Oaks who won their division as well.  The rematch was quite a different story with the Placer boys posting a convincing 3-0 victory. It was 0-0 at the half and then the boys exploded for three unanswered goals to claim the title.

The U12B Black team, coached by Jorge Fernandez, also had a great run through the tournament. In Game one, the boys had a 2-2 draw with Sacramento United Reds. In Game 2, the boys were pitted against the 2013 Norcal State Cup Finalist, Santa Rosa United Celtic. The boys ran into a buzz saw and came out on the losing end. In Game 3 the boys needed a win to advance to the championship game and they did just that, beating the Rohnert Park Rage 4-1. In the final, the boys once again were matched up against Santa Rosa Celtic. Placer ended up on the short end with a 5-2 defeat but competed very well.

Congratulations on a great weekend boys!
