Under a sweltering sky, the California Magic 05 girls soccer team seized victory Sunday, Aug. 12 in Concord, winning the U14 division of the Diablo FC Girls Cup. In an afternoon game played at Ygnacio Valley High School, Magic struck first with a goal that was answered quickly with two from Tri Valley SC 05 Girls Black. The Magic team fought back to tie the game and win the tournament, thanks to points from two Saturday victories, including a decisive 9-1 win over Palo Alto SC 05G Red. "The team has worked really hard, and the results have paid off," said Magic Coach Luis Pinto. "The team had a very productive summer; we are starting to identify our style of play and have improved tremendously in our speed of play. We set goals and standards that we will continue to work by to help us compete in league this fall."
