This was a big weekend for California United Soccer who hosted there first home games as a club with 5 of six teams playing at Two Rivers Park and ushering in a new era for Fillmore club soccer. Starting the day for California United the U-10 girls took on the Oxnard Waves. It was a tough first half ending in a 1-1 tie off, with a laser of a shot from Lisbeth Mendez on the assist from Jiselle Posadas. The second half was very close until the end when Oxnard let loose making 3 quick goals ending the in a final score of 4-1 oxnard. This was a great game versus a long standing club team for the young squad as they continue to develop.
Next the U-12 girls took on Oxnard National and came out on top winning 4-2. California United came out very aggressive and attacked the defense for two quick scores, one by Marlene Gonzales and the other by Jadon Rodriguez. After National scored a goal to cut the lead in half, Marlene scored her second goal of the day just before halftime to make it 3-1. After an auto goal against California United Kari Terrazas scored on a nicely set up pass from Jadon Rodriguez for the final score of the day.
The U-13 boys really like playing at home as they looked great in an 8-0 victory over the Piru Chivas. This was an all-around team effort as Ivan Espino who scored 2, with the following players all scoring one goal each; Aldo Garza, Lizandro Orozco, Alexander Roque, Mathew Tello, Alonso Murillo and Fernando Pastrana whom had two assists for his team. The defense looked solid all game long with Eugenio Serna recording the shutout as goalkeeper.
The U-14 girls also had a strong outing as they beat the Pumas 5-1. Isabela Regalado had 2 scores for California United while Jenny Abrego, Daisy Jimenez, and Valeria Jaimes each had one. There was plenty of passing in this game as Daisy Jimenez had 2 assists, with 1 assist each to Jenny Abrego, Valeria Jaimes and Emily Garcia.
Finally, The U-14 boys took on the Lobos in a very tightly contested match which ended in a 0-1 loss for California United. This was a great game throughout that saw a lot of back and forth and could have gone either way. We look forward to hosting more California United home games in the upcoming weeks, so make sure to follow us on Facebook for info on days and times to come out and support these great local athletes or if interested in joining.
