Orinda resident Ryan Aiken and his U15 SJ Earthquakes Academy team played the U.S. Women's National Team on May 8 at San Jose State University, CEFCU Stadium in a friendly game as the defending World Cup champions prepare for World Cup play in France next month. Aiken, in goal against the USWNT starting lineup (including Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe), made multiple challenging saves in a game that will be a highlight of the boys academy year. Aiken, shown here with Carli Lloyd, is in his third season as goalkeeper for the SJ Earthquakes Academy and is finishing his freshman year at De La Salle High School.
