On behalf of everyone at Santa Rosa United, the players and coaches congratulate the union today of two Santa Rosa United coaches.

Emiria Salzmann and Fire Captain Mark Dunn were married at 2.30pm at the Church of the Incarnation, on Mendocino Avenue in Santa Rosa, with a hundred plus guests celebrating and witnessing their union.  Emiria and Mark have coached for SRU for many years.  The wedding was attended by many players and parents.  The church service included a wonderful solo singer.  Emiria currently is the Head Girls Coach at Sonoma State University after a successful stint at the SR Junior College.  Mark currently serves with the local fire service as a Captain and coaches soccer.

The wedding reception was a lively affair held in the Union Hotel in Occidental with the father and mother of the bride singing a wonderful love song in tribute to the new couple.  Emiria’s seven brothers and sisters and Mark’s family had a great time celebrating the occasion with the friends and family of the bride and groom.   The dancing went on late into the night.

A well deserved break of an international honeymoon now awaits the newlyweds.  

We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together.

January 16, 2012, Chino, CA - It was a great weekend of soccer for the Santa Rosa United U14G Freeze side as they won their first Southern California tournament. The championship was especially satisfying as the Freeze overcame a 2-1 halftime deficit with two second half goals to take the title against a very strong Legends FC side. The Freeze started the weekend strong on Saturday with a 3-0 victory over Legends FC South and a 10-0 win over Matrix. Santa Rosa followed Sunday with sound victories over FC Golden State, 4-1, and Legends FC Black in the semi-final, 2-0.

Congratulations to the Chelsea U14 Boys who received the final in the WCDA Las Vegas Tournament

* Trisha Zeimer, coaches the U14 and U15 girls teams.

* Ralph Montes, coaches the U12 boys and U14 girls teams

We have seen a tremendous increase in player numbers over the last three years with record numbers of new players in our Academy for both boys and girls.  SRU is needing additional coaches to add to our coaching roster for 2012.
