The Magic 99 Girls soccer team, led by coach Haris Obic, capped a memorable Memorial Day weekend tournament by defeating the host team, Sporting 98 Green, 4-0 in the final to be crowned the 2016 Santa Clara Sporting Girls Invitational Champion. The Magic girls outscored their opponents 19 to 3, and played a stellar brand of soccer at the Santa Clara Sporting complex in the shadow of Levi's Stadium.

The team created numerous opportunities to score, in matches versus clubs from South Lake Tahoe, Stockton/Lodi and Alum Rock in addition to Santa Clara Sporting.

"The girls have been working hard and their conditioning paid off in being able to maintain their intensity for all five games over the three-day period." Obic said.
