2012 Presidio League

The 2012 Presidio League season officially got underway this weekend.  It was super busy with both teams playing on both days and the weather made it extremely demanding on all of us.  However, it was a great weekend of soccer with lots of tough competition.

 The GU13 team is playing AA-A this year after winning AA-B last year, so we knew we would have a tougher schedule for sure.  On Saturday, we faced Poway Vaqueros (a team we tied 1-1 twice last season).  Although Poway took a 1-0 lead at halftime, we came back with a nice goal by Isabelle and a great PK shot by Ashley to win 2-1!  On Sunday, we drove to Carlsbad for a meeting with Carlsbad Wave and beat them 3-0.  It was nice starting the season with 2 big wins!

The GU11 team is also playing AA-A this year and hoping to finally have some success.  We hosted the DMCV Sharks on Saturday, played a little tentative and lost 3-1.  Allison spent the whole game as keeper and had some nice saves, but we just couldn't stop them from coming down the middle.  On Sunday, in the middle of a thunderstorm, we hosted Carlsbad Lightning (how appropriate).  It was a back and forth battle with Isabella scoring a nice goal and a PK to give us a 2-2 tie.  Not exactly the start we had hoped for, but we saw a lot of great ball movement and some nice improvements, so hoping for good things this season!
