9/22/13: Stampede dominate Cal Cougars

Three successful breakaways and an outside blast gave the locals a 4-1 win over the Cal Cougars on a soggy Saturday at the Davis Legacy Soccer Complex.  Skye Shaffer started things off with an outside shot that hydroplaned past the diving keeper.  Three more goals came from Jordan Davis, Allie Belafsky and Vanessa Carrazco, as each striker finished strong on breakaways. Tough defense from Sophie Karperos, Lindsey Vernau and Yasmeen Dmeiri sealed the deal.

9/15/13: Agony over the weekend

The Stampede suffered two tough losses over the weekend, falling first to Modesto in league play on Saturday and then to BOCA in Sunday's State Cup match.  Saturday's see-saw battle started with Modesto up 2-0, but the locals clawed their way back to a 3-2 lead in the second half, only to eventually fall 4-3 as the Ajax countered with the equalizer and then the game winner.  Ainsley Carrol scored for the locals on a breakaway.  Then Grace Barger drilled in a screaming rope from 30 yards, a first-touch wallop off a short corner. Barger assisted the final goal as Jordan Davis chested in the set piece as she charged the net.

Sunday saw the Stampede dominating both ball possession and shots on goal, but the locals could only manage one tally as J Davis scored off a Lily Byrne assist.  Boca then converted its only two opportunities on through-ball breakaways giving the visitors the win.

9/7/13: Stampede start fall season sizzling

The scoring started midway through the first half when Jordan Davis volleyed in Anne Ayotte's corner. Ayotte later scored from the opposite side of the box, making it 2-0. In the second half, McKenna Lutzker fed J. Davis a through ball which Davis finished for goal number 3. Sacramento was able to get on the board with a tally, but the locals kept the offensive pressure up as Sky Shaffer drilled in a fourth goal from 18. Lutzker and fellow forward Mattie combined to knock in yet another goal as the ball got away from the the Sacramento keeper at the 6. Grace Barger then sent a long through ball to Vanessa Carrasco, who finished for the sixth and final goal.
