U-14G Tri-Valley finish 2nd in NorCal State Cup finals

The Under-14 girls Tri-Valley team came from behind to force a 1-1 double overtime tie before bowing to the Rocklin Strikers in penalty kicks 4-3 in the NorCal State Cup Gold division finals.

After giving up a goal at the end of the first half, Dublin United applied pressure throughout the second half finally scoring the tying goal after a cross from Michelle McQuiston was hammered home by Emma Neckar.  The game was a tight battle throughout in which both teams had scoring opportunties.  The Dublin United defense led by goalie Baylee Akins, Jillian Colwell, Mackenzie Rendich, Hannah Wolf, Dilpreet Anand, and Hannah Neckar did an outstanding job of frustrating Rocklin.  Jesy Nelson, Emma Schoenthal, Kelly Radu, Kaycee Davis, and McKenzie Cooper provided strong midfield play with Caitlyn Murray and Caitlin Benoit applying pressure up top.
