This past Saturday, the girls U-11 California United team took part in a great, tough, nail biting Championship game v Oxnard AC. California United came into the game with an 8-2 regular season record and the last time they had lost a game or even given up a goal was March 25th.

As expected in a final, there was a great exhibition of skill and talent from both sides. Oxnard AC was first to score taking a 1-0 lead. Shortly before the end of the first half Jadon Rodriguez scored an amazing goal after beating two defenders and somehow keeping her balance in a tough fought play that tied the game 1-1 in the first half. After a corner kick goal by Oxnard AC, the California United team was down 1-2. California United applied plenty of pressure and had multiple opportunities to score with the crowd getting loud behind them. In the end, it was not to be as California United just came up a bit short in the loss. The team was able to walk off the field with their heads held high and a very proud coaching staff and crowd loudly applauding after such a hard played final.

It was a great season for our California United team in which the coaching staff has seen so much growth and advancement from our players due to their hard work and great effort. We’d like to thank all the friends and family for their continued support and great presence at the game and to our sponsors Body Image Fitness, Portobello Pizza and Taco Llama for their help and generosity.
