12/9/12: Stampede dominant over the weekend

The locals booked two decisive victories over the weekend beating Sac United 5-1 and Placer United 4-0.  In Saturday's final league game against Sacramento, Lily Byrne opened up the scoring with a liner from the 18 and Jordan Davis followed a few minutes later as she finished a bouncing ball in the box at close range.  Anne Ayotte then blasted in a 25-yarder making it 3-0 at the half.  After intermission, Ayotte assisted Davis who broke away for the fourth goal and Byrne did the same for Adeline Umphress who scored the fifth and final goal from the right side of the box.  A late goal from the opponent made the final score 5-1.  Tough defending from Grace Carlson and Yasmeen Dmeiri stifled Sacramento's offensive efforts throughout the match.  Sunday the Stampede faced Placer United in State Cup play.  Davis connected with Grace Barger inside the goal box for the first goal.  Soon after, Alex Hanna's aggressive challenge on a Placer defender deep in the box resulted in a failed clear and a close range tally for goal number two.  In the second half, Davis muscled a ball through the keeper's arms making it 3-0 and then Umphress found the unmarked Sydney Moore at the six who in turn netted the fourth and final goal of the shutout.
