Second Place in Spring Showcase
Submitted by Chris Easter
The Lamorinda United U14 girls finished with the second highest point total out of the 10 teams in the Platinum Division of The Northern California Spring Showcase tournament.
In the first match against American River, the game ended in a 0-0 tie. The Saturday afternoon match, against rival Walnut Creek Explosion, was tough. The Explosion struck first before Emma Nushi found the back of the net with the first of her two tournament goals. Walnut Creek broke the tie late in the second half to take 2-1 lead. On the very last possession of the game, Jadey Sadoff launched a ball into the corner of the goal to give Lamorinda a thrilling last second tie. On Sunday, against the West Coast Wonder, the United fought to a 2-to-2 tie.
In the consolation game against the Sacramento Extreme, goalkeeper Adriana Uyehara was able to preserve a 2-1 victory.
