The SCA 99 Girls Black Team, coached by Lee Summerscales, finished their season second in Northern California after they were defeated 4-1 by the number one-seeded DeAnza Force in the NorCal State Cup Championship game on Saturday, January 28 in Woodland.  The SCA team had previously defeated the second seeded Mustang Magic and the third seeded Santa Rosa United Ice to reach the championship game.  Midfielder Hannah De Voe scored SCA’s only goal with a high, hard kick over the goalie’s head into the left corner of the goal from about 18 yards out just before the end of the first half to make the score 2-1 at halftime.  Left wing Lauren Miller had an assist on the goal after stealing the ball from a DeAnza defender and passing it to De Voe.   Forwards Chanel Augustin, Amy Ferrick, Jennifer Massie, Anna Rossi, Miller and midfielders Eden Brooker and De Voe worked hard to create additional scoring opportunities for SCA in the second half but were unable to find the net.   SCA’s tenacious defense was anchored by midfielders Katie Johansen and Lily Munsee, defenders Bethan Brown, Lauren Friedlander, Alexis Gumanday, Markie McHugh, Sally Ziemer and goalie, Yasmin Sahagan, who had another terrific game in goal.  SCA’s defenders held DeAnza to two goals until the last ten minutes of the game, when DeAnza scored two goals in quick succession to put the game out of reach.  The underdog SCA team fought hard to the end and had their best finish ever in State Cup Competition.  Congratulations to the girls and their coach on a very successful season.

Traveling to Manteca, Coach Judith Schapanski led her team to a 2-0 victory over Benecia Arsenal 02, a team that was rarely defeated.  The following day, SCA 03 GN faced off against a team from Pinole, the FCA Sparks.  The Sparks had been stingy with goals yielding one while scoring five in their prior elimination games. When comparing the teams during warm-ups most would think the taller and faster appearing FCA Sparks would have the advantage, especially considering that five of SCA North’s players spent most of the season under 8 years old in the  U-9 age group. 

The teams battled it out in the first half with neither team scoring.  During the second half, the Sparks took the lead when scoring on free kick halfway through the session. With less than 8 minutes left, SCA’s center defender, Emily Moberly deflected a ball off her chest, juked a few players out, and shot from 30 yards out rolling the tying goal into the back corner of the net.  Keeping the momentum going, Samantha Fenske burned down the right wing looking to score until being fouled inside the box.  Then, an always cool Victoria Holden blasted the penalty kick off the top post and over the line for the go-a-head goal.  Just a few minutes later the NorCal State Cup Gold Championship title was clinched with SCA winning 2-1.   Other championship players include Bailey Campenella, Flor Casteneda, Paola Gomez, Siena Grace, Lola Gugel, Haley Hannah, Gabriella Lopez, Kaylee Mills, Sara Norris, and Sydney Tyler.

Throughout the weekend, scouts from the US National Team had a chance to see all of the U15 teams in action.  The team has been to Surf Cup several times before, but failed to advance out of the group, so that was our initial goal.  We opened the tournament with a key 1-0 win over Slammers, which is regarded as one of the top clubs in the US.  In the following game, we took on host San Diego Surf and trailed at the half, but the girls responded to earn a crucial tie.  In our final group game we played a very capable Eastside FC team from Washington, and with them needing to win to advance and a tie or a win meaning we would move on, they put us under a tremendous amount of pressure from the start.  Our girls defended well to earn a 0-0 tie which meant we advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time.  In the quarterfinals, we played against Socal Blues, another of the the top clubs in the US.  We were still a bit tired from the morning game against Eastside and fell behind 0-1.  We came out strong in the second half, but they scored against the run of play to go ahead 2-0.  At that point, we pushed numbers forward to try to get back in the game and they eventually beat us 3-0.  It was a great weekend for us, and not only did we get 3 great games, but we showed we could compete with the top teams in our age group."  Congratulations to Coach Chris and to the girls!

About 10 minutes into the first half Symone Groll-Nevel dribble through the Lamorinda defenders and put one into the back of the net, which was immediately followed by a Lamorinda goal to tie it at 1-1. Then Haley Barker blasted a beautiful goal over the goalie’s head from outside the penalty box on a free kick. Minutes later, Lamorinda scored again the exact same way.  With about five minutes left in the half, Alex Rooney connected with a great shot to the left corner of the goal to put SCA up 3-2 at halftime.  The second half continued to be a battle and goalkeeper, Alice Gacegu, was taking a beating as she was determined to defend the goal.  The score remained the same until Symone Groll-Nevel put in another goal, to bring the score to 4-2. With seconds left on the clock Lamorinda put in their last goal on a penalty kick. The whistle blew and SCA won 4-3! 

The SCA North 00 Girls team showed up well for the father’s day weekend tournament in Reno, Nevada. Abby, Alex, Gillian, Jullie, Katie, Madi B, Maddie C, Kaitlin & Sienna, along with 2 play-up’s from SCA south, Abria, Emily & one guest player, Tristen, brought home the Championship Trophy. Saturday morning they shut out Nevada Elite in a 4-0 victory, followed by another shut out against Sagebrush Tornados, again by a final score of 4-0. The Sunday morning game against American River would determine who advanced to the Championship game on Sunday afternoon at the windy Terrace Sports Complex.  SCA played a solid game against them, resulting in some injuries for both teams but still managed to come out with a 3-1 win!

The SCA 99 Girls Black team, coached by Lee Summerscales and Vinnie Cortezzo, capped off an exciting Spring League season by finishing first place in the Norcal Premier League with a record of 8-2.  They finished strong and won their league by beating a tough Juventus Sport Club Legends on Saturday, May 21st by a score of 4-2 and followed up with another victory on Sunday, May 22nd over MCFC Rampage by a score of 4-1. 

The girls started the game against Juventus slowly and were trailing by a score of 2 to 0 at the beginning of the second half.  The SCA team then took control of the game.  Eden Brooker scored on a penalty kick and then Amy Ferrick scored to tie the game.   Brooker added another goal and Hannah DeVoe scored the final SCA goal of the game.  On Sunday against Rampage, SCA was in control of the game from the beginning.  Lauren Miller scored SCA’s first goal of the day, followed by a goal by Jennifer Massie and then Ferrick put the game away with two more goals.  Forwards Anna Rossi and Hannah Ingram, midfielders Lily Munsee, Camryn Howard, and Chanel Augustine and defenders Markie McHugh, Sally Ziemer, Lauren Friedlander, Bethan Brown, Mia Martin, Kelly D’Ambrogia and Yasmin Sahagun played hard and contributed to the team’s winning weekend.  Goalie Peyton Russotti had a terrific weekend in goal with numerous saves.   The team’s first place finish qualifies them for the Cross-Regional Play-Offs the weekend of June 4-5. 

In May, five players from the SCA 99 boys team (coached by Neil Turnbull) were selected to represent the Norcal Premier League Player Development Program (PDP) Region 5 team for the PDP Playdate in Morgan Hill, CA on May 15. The PDP Playdate is a youth soccer showcase where teams of elite players from different regions within Northern California play each other in friendly games. 

The SCA boys were chosen from the PDP Region 5 training pool that includes players from clubs in Sonoma and Marin counties. Each player participated in two games at the PDP playdate, playing along side and competing against some of the best youth soccer players in Northern California. The players selected are Dylan Eddy (goal keeper), Ethan Waters (forward), David Luis (midfielder), Brady Scott (goal keeper), and Dino Santia (forward).

Three SCA alumnae will be participating in the NCAA Division II soccer championship tournament beginning November 11.  Rebecca Mateo and Kiera Woerner, who play for Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina, will be playing Lenoir-Rhyne in Columbus, Georgia. Kara Cunningham, who plays for San Francisco State University, will be playing UC San Diego in Laie, Hawaii. All three girls played for the SCA 90 Girls and graduated in 2008.  The college season is wrapping up now for all of the girls who represent SCA at their respective colleges.  For more college news, please read on.

Game 1 was a 2-0 win over Gilbert SC Arsenal (AZ).  Cami Rencken and Rebecca Dodele each scored a goal.  Game 2 against FC Nova Elite (ID) was a resounding 6-0 win for SCA   Goals were scored by Shorty Gonzalez, Monica Furne (3), Taylor Ziemer, and Mckenzie Maher.  The third game was a 1-0 win against Tulsa SC Red (OK).  The only goal was by Shelby Evenich in the 14th minute.  This brought the team to the quarterfinals against Real Colorado.  It was a 3-0 win with goals scored by Shorty with 2 (and one assist) and Sierra Overton.  The semi-final game against Northwest Nationals (WA) was played late at night, postponed because of the weather.  Nonetheless, SCA defeated Washington 2-0 with goals by Lizzie Woerner and Mckenzie.

SCA met their greatest challenge in the Championship game against West Coast FC (So Cal).  It was their only defeat giving them the 2nd Place title.

Delaney Frye was outstanding in the goal supported by the backs, Grace Forsell, Shelby, Gabby Lemos, Becca, and Morgan Umphreys who spent the weekend shutting down their opponents.  Performing in the midfield often as the engine of the team were Shorty, Dani Nunn, and Jamie Lynn.  Finally the forwards, Lizzie, Mckenzie, Sierra, Cami, Natasha Rosenbach, Monica and Taylor were creating and finishing chances and working hard to pressure the other team.

The weekend began with the SCA North U11 Girls donning their green Team Toxic shirts, spray-painting their hair bright green and covering themselves with scary tattoos and applying black stripes under their eyes.

Despite all the enthusiasm, they stepped onto the field and came out a bit flat against Sacramento United. A Coach Trevor half-time pep talk resulted in a great second half comeback that included stellar goalie play from Kaitlin and goals from Alex, Sienna and Sierra to secure a 3-1 victory.

Next up was Dublin Magic, who have won several other events this year and have some big, fast players. SCA’s defense, anchored by Julie, Emily and Gillian shut the Magic down, time and time again while Ava took matters into her own feet and scored two goals with Sienna chipping in another for good measure and a 3-0 win.

Based on points and the play of the other teams in their bracket, SCA was already through to the finals. But there was more work to do, as the clouds began to gather, early Sunday morning. The team arrived in near darkness at the fields to blustery winds that had blown down the goals during the night. The Pleasanton Rage had their own ideas about trying to reach the finals and they played hard the entire game. Daisy controlled the midfield for SCA and helped them go up in the first half on another goal by Sienna. Pleasanton had the wind in the second half though and managed to tie up the game to secure a 1-1 tie.

By the time the girls got back to the hotel to rest up before the final, the rain had shifted into a full scale storm that actually drew a high winds advisory from the National Weather Service. The tournament even made the decision to cancel most of the consolation matches. But the Finals would go on. In SCA’s favor was that the team was playing on turf, but as the girls began trying to warm up, it became apparent that even the turf field could not manage the torrential downpour, as pools of water covered various parts of the field.

Showing character beyond their years, the girls embraced the tricky conditions and pledged to give it their all. Woodland Arsenal was deservedly in the final, winning each of their games and not allowing any goals. The trend continued as Arsenal was able to somehow score two goals despite an outstanding keeper performance from Brianna in a game that was more sloshball than soccer.

As the girls drove home, huddled in blankets and with heaters in the cars cranked, they had the satisfaction that they gave great effort, had played well, and may never again play in weather conditions such as this.

With both teams playing similar styles and formations, Mustang scored first early in the first half, only to be immediately matched by a beautiful bending corner kick by SCA’s Dino Santia, score 1-1.  SCA took the lead in the first half with a blast from Steve Proctor from well beyond the 18-yard box to go up 2-1.  The composed Mustang squad was able to answer back and leveled the contest at 2-2 going into halftime.

SCA’s Dominic Cristobal opened the second half scoring with a laser, left-footed strike high into the goal to go up 3-1.  The very disciplined and determined opponent scored the next two goals to take the lead, 4-3. With less than 3 minutes remaining in regulation time SCA goalkeeper, Brady Scott came well off his line to clear a tricky ball down the field and found Proctor again on the receiving end who slammed the ball into the back of the net and tied the game 4-4.

With the State Cup trophy on the line, the match headed to extra time with emotion and intensity at a peak level.  The golden goal format was in play and it looked like Mustang would win only to have a break away attempt hit the crossbar and the ensuing rebound shot saved by the fingertips of SCA goalie, Scott. Score still 4-4.

During the second 5 minutes extra period both teams traded strong attempts on goal but with less than 30 seconds remaining an SCA cross was received by Cristobal who was able to sneak it by the keeper for the match winner.

Coach Neil Turnbull commented on the victory, "The character that the boys showed after going down 3-4 was impressive: they could have easily put their heads down and packed it in.  The work ethic they displayed during the season all came together in the end.  I couldn’t be more proud of their accomplishment."

Members of the championship team include: Raleigh Berry, Michael Buzard, Nicolas Carle, Dominic Cristobal, Thomas de Jong, Sumeet Dulai, Angel Gutierrez, David Luis, Jared Miller, Jeffrey Mondragon-Vivas, Jackson O"Neil, Steve Proctor, Grant Sandwina, Dino Santia, Noah Schneider, Brady Scott and Ethan Waters.

During the course of the weekend, Hannah DeVoe, Amy Ferrick, Katie Johansen, Jennifer Massie, Markie McHugh, Lauren Miller, Tera Ziemer and Peyton Russotti scored goals for the team.  Goalkeepers Stacey Olson and Russotti did an excellent job of holding the opposing teams to just 2 goals over the course of the tournament. Black Team players DeVoe, Ferrick, Lauren Friedlander, Johansen, Massie, McHugh, Kendall Middlebrook, Miller, Lily Munsee, Olson, Russotti, Sally Ziemer and their coach, Vinnie Cortezzo, would like to thank guest players Jensen Hedley, Corrinne Ladner, Hannah Maillard and T.

Goals by Woerner, Mogannam, Bipes and Shelby Evenich. The fourth game in scorching hot conditions ended in a 2-1 win for SCA against LaMorinda United. Goals by Ziemer and Bipes. This series of wins brought SCA to the final game on Sunday against Diablo FC. After a small opening ceremony and the World Cup soccer final on their minds, the SCA team won 2-0 with goals by Taylor Ziemer and Mimi Gallo. The team, coached by Ralph Montes, was presented with a championship trophy and t-shirts. Congratulations to the team including goalie Madalyn Thomas, Kayla Kimball, Bella Santia, Emily Sewall, Emily Welter, Emily Panacci, Claire Wilson, Sophia, Payne, Kelsey Greenwood, Rebecca Benjamin, Lia Vonderahe, Erica Payor, and Alexia Martinez, and a big thank you to the guest players from the younger teams – Shelby Evenich, Lizzie Woerner and Taylor Ziemer.

From June 25th to July 4th, thirteen girls from Sonoma County Alliance went to Cessenatica, Italy to play in the Italy Cup Soccer Tournament.  Team Rockstar, as the girls called themselves, was one of four teams from the US.  After playing teams from Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, they were 2-2-2 in the tournament and took 6th place!,   Trisha Ziemer was the coach and the players were Arianna Martinez, Maddy Thomas, Jackie Burggraf, Serena Mogannam, Mimi Gallo, Bella Santia, Shelby Evenich, Becca Benjamin, Katie Bipes, Paulie Lorenc, Erika Payer, Emily Panacci and Kaylee Castro.

The girls made soccer friends from all over the world have memories that will last forever.  Team Rockstar would like to thank all of those who supported the fundraisers over the past year that helped the team make the trip.

The SCA 97 Girls, coached by Eric Parrish, took first place at the Norcal Cross Regional Playoffs the weekend of June 5th and 6th. SCA defeated FSC American River 8-1 and Ceres Earthquake FC 2-1 on Saturday, and then Placer Blue 1-0 in the championship game on Sunday. This is the beginning of what appears to be a great season.

The SCA 99 Boys, coached by Neil Turnbull, captured the NorCal Spring League Silver Region 5 title on the final weekend of play with a resounding 10-0 victory over Healdsburg. Heading into the last match, the squad was tied for first place with Santa Rosa United, but secured the championship on goal differential. Both teams finished with identical 7-1-1 records, but SCA outscored all opponents a massive 44 goals to 10.  In the final match, the scoring was lead by Raleigh Berry, David Luis and Brady Scott with two goals apiece. Scott and Ethan Waters secured the clean sheet with the goalkeeper duties.

Coach Neil Turnbull was very pleased with the team’s performance in the final match and their improvement during the season. “A lot of things we’d worked on over the season came together,” said Turnbull. Providing offense all season long was Dominic Christobal, newcomer Thomas de Jong, and Christopher West. Dino Santia led all scorers with team high 9 goals. The midfield was anchored by Berry, with key performances by Michael Buzard, Nicolas Carle and Ethan Waters. The tight defensive backline was lead by Angel Gutierrez, Sumeet Dulai, Jared Miller, Jeffrey Mondragon-Vivas and Jackson O’Neil. Scott and Waters handled the majority of the goalkeeping that contributed to 4 team shutouts.

Turnbull went on to say the team’s transition to the 11v11 format was “very pleasing from a coaching perspective because the boys took what they learned from the training field and applied it to the games they played during spring league.”
