1ST ROUND OF STATE CUP: South Valley Came To Play

We knew South Valley would adjust well from Saturday's game, but we never thought they would bring a different team...at least that's what is seemed like. It was a battle from the start; our girls seemed to start a little flat. With a key goal from Emi in the second half, our girls started playing like the team we know they are. Then Logan sealed up the win with a beautiful cross from Taylor. I told you Taylor, you are definitely becoming a player that makes things happen. This means we accumulated 3 points for the win in State Cup.
A little update on the other teams in our bracket. Modesto Ajax has played 2 games, and have won both of them, one against South Valley and the other against Elk Grove. Placer United has one win against Elk Grove. Elk Grove has lost their first two games, against Modesto and Placer. South Valley has also lost their first two, against CVSA and Modesto Ajax. I think we can all see that Modesto Ajax is the team to beat, but they haven't played our girls. This game right now is the most important game of the year for us , we need to get a good rest on Friday night, and have a healthy breakfast on Saturday morning. Then we will be at our strongest when we meet up with Modesto. I've seen a lot of soccer in my years as a coach. This CVSA team is a great little team, and I truly believe that if we come focused and ready to play on Saturday, we can walk away with our second win in State Cup. Play Hard.
