The Santa Rosa United U-11 Tremors went into the CAL CUP weekend looking for a great weekend of soccer and they didn't dissapoint. With a goal differential of 35-1 the Tremors won the CAL CUP championship going 5-0 in over 100 degree weather. Great team play was the key as all aspects of the TREMORS game plan worked to perfection. The championship pitted the Tremors against a very good Modesto AJAX team. The Tremors came out quick with 3 first half goals and didn't look back as they finished the game with a 5-0 win. Congrats to the Tremors and coach Martin Perez. Next up SURF CUP in San Diego.

Shock swept through bracket play without giving up a goal to Surf Blue (CAS), Black Diamond (UT), or TVSA (CAS). The quarter finals were determined by penalty kicks (4-3) against Washington Premier after a day of rain washed out the fields. In the Semi-Finals, Shock faced Marin FC and took it 2-1 in the first "golden goal" overtime period. The Final was played at the polo fields in Del Mar where Shock faced the host Surf White team, currently ranked #2 in the nation. Shock battled for the full 70 minutes but just came up short, falling  2-1 to Surf. Congratulations to Coach Paul Dixon and Shock for a tremendous showing in SoCal.
