25 in Tracy. West Coast went 3-1-2 for a successful weekend. West Coast 2007, 2008, and 2011 girls all won their games and continue to establish their dominance as the top female college recruited soccer clubs in the region.
West Coast’s younger developmental teams are continuing to thrive and grow. The 2009 team tied 2-2 in an exciting game and 2010 lost a close 2-1 contest. Perhaps the upset of the weekend came from the 2011 West Coast girls as they pulled off a 3-1 victory against a solid team.
West Coast 2012 lost their game as they fielded a team new to the GA level with many younger players on the squad that are still working hard to develop and improve. Local athlete Jariah Indalecio was one of the standout players from the weekend as she scored a hat-trick in the U19 age group. Kyra Binstock was on fire with an assist on a goal from Olivia Maragos.
Tracy High students Faythe Delong and Addison Perry helped shut down their opposition in defense. In the U17 age group, Danielle Rey was the Player of the Match after a great header goal which was assisted by perfect service from Karly Martins. Newcomer Mia Moniz made her presence felt with a goal in the second half.
Rachel Warter, Isabella Smith, and Brooklyn Cornish were the outstanding defenders and Avery Gleason was unbeatable in goal to secure the shutout win. At U16, West Coast’s Tracy residents Ashley Browning and Saniyah Lee shined as dual MVP’s. They both scored goals from the penalty spot.
The Girls Academy is the leading youth development soccer platform for the best female soccer players in the United States. West Coast Soccer continues their dominance as the premier soccer club in the region with over 200 players going on to receive college scholarships. Terremoto win 3-0 The State Cup Gold champion (G2), 2013 Terremoto Black, elevated to the top of NPL league play this year and is off to a good start to the season after several successful pre-season tournament outings in Manteca, Turlock, and Fresno.
In the first league game of the season, the Black traveled away to Pleasanton to face a tough Ballistic United Premier team -- also a previous champion the past season. With the pre-season utilized to help formulate the team tactics and strategies, the team was ready, and it showed in the shutout 3-0 win. From the start, Terremoto Black was focused, and six minutes in, Julian Marron scored a great goal on a flick pass from Amaziah Giron.
Terremoto Black controlled a lot of the play later after that, with the strong defensive line of Jaxon Horton, Gavin Su, Mason Avila, and Grayson Ryan keeping the Ballistic team at bay. Unable to score, however, after a while, the Ballistic team mounted some scary attacks, but stellar goalkeeper Ian Flores made several great acrobatic saves to keep the score 1-0. Finally, with 15 minutes left to go, Marron once again crashed the Ballistic goal after a long cross from Ryan that bounced off the goalie’s hands before being directed into the net by Marron for a 2-0 Terremoto Black lead.
Ballistic pressed hard after that, but they could not penetrate the Black defense. With three minutes remaining, Giron put the icing on the cake as he took a pass from Marron before turning a beautiful solo effort into a third goal to seal the 3-0 Terremoto win. Terremoto Black was strong in midfield with Colton Vieira, Luke Achziger, Landon Da Ga, Brayden Aycock, and Jose Moran running the show.
West Coast Terremoto Black look forward to their next game on Sept. 7 at Legacy Fields against Livermore Fusion. Contact Arion Armeniakos at aarmeniakos@tracypress.
