Aubrey's Soccer
2019 State Cup
And Then There Was One 11/20/2019
On Saturday 11/16/19 the Valley United 2010 Girls played in the semi-finals for the Silver Div, in NORCAL's State Cup. They played the Merced Mustangs to a 3-1 victory. The team seamed a little sluggish at first, but caught their stride after about 15 minutes. Aubrey remains on her game, and has really started to develop as a fast, knowledgeable player. Her grasp of the game has provided the team with someone who seems to know where the plays are developing from the first touch.
On Sunday it was a showdown between the United Girls and the girls from Rocklin out of Sacramento. The first score came down to a PK in the box for hands, and our littlest player roped in our first goal. Our defense was playing stellar, and Aubrey once again was as aggressive as I have every seen. That pressure allowed us to keep the ball on our offensive half, and kept them on their heels. With two minutes to go in the game, we made some changes to allow our reserves to experience the pressures of a final. With 15 seconds to go in the game, Rocklin took advantage of the girls in transition, and even the score. In this game there was no "Golden Goal" and the girls would play 10 minutes of overtime.
Captains Aubrey Tatro and Naomi Delores started things off by winning the toss and claiming 1st possession. This proved to be the winning move. The girls were able to split the pressure between the forwards and our left forward slipped behind their defense and sealed the fate with our second goal. Our defense did the rest. This was our Valley United 2010 Girls biggest win this year and will provide a foundation to help build our program. Some teams choose the best 10 girls from a large group, and we took all 14 girls that tried out and made the best with what we had... and as you can see, that turned out to be pretty good!
