4/28/13: Two out of three three ain't bad!

The Stampede chalked up 13 goals over the weekend as they logged two impressive wins and a very narrow loss.  The locals started off strong Friday evening as they shut out the Fair Oaks Freedom 4-0.  Jordan Davis scored two while Sophie Karperos added a goal on Yasmeen Dmeiri's corner and later assisted Ainsley Carroll for the fourth and final goal.  The Stampede were even more dominant Sunday morning, crushing the Cal Blues 8-0.  Davis scored two more in the match as did Vanessa Carrasco. Dmeiri, Anne Ayotte and Mckenna Lutzker had one each and a Cal Cougar own goal added insult to injury to complete the rout.  Lily Byrne had two assists while Skye Shaffer and Davis added one each.  The locals faced a tough Modesto Ajax team Sunday afternoon but lost 2-1 in a hard fought and heated match.  Although they were up 1-0 at the half after Alex Hanna scored on an assist from Ayotte, the locals could not prevent two second half tallies by the opponent.  Karperos, Shaffer and Grace Carlson led a spirited defensive battle throughout the contest.

4/21/13: Stampede over Cougars

The locals beat the Cal Cougars 3-0 in today's windy matchup at the Davis Legacy Soccer Complex.  With a 1-0 lead at the half on Jordan Davis' early goal, the Stampede were able to get two more in the second half, first from Ainsley Carroll on an assist from Yasmeen Dmeiri and then Davis scored her second on an assist from Lily Byrne.  Tough team defense did the rest to secure the shutout.

4/14/13: Stampede open the 2013 spring season with a split

The Stampede opened the Norcal spring season by splitting games last weekend. After falling to Elk Grove, 3-0, on Friday, the locals came back with a vengeance on Saturday morning, dominating BOCA, 8-1.  With Jordan Davis opening the Stampede scoring on a close range header, the contest was tied 1-1 at the half.  But the locals organized a crushing onslaught of offensive power after the break, scoring seven straight goals.  In the barrage, Davis tallied twice to complete a hat trick, Anne Ayotte had two goals, and single tallies came from Ainsley Carroll, Grace Barger and Allie Belafsky.
