It was a mixed bag for the Stampede last Sunday at Norcal Playdate #5 at Granite Park, hosted by the Sacramento United Soccer Club. In Game 1 they faced the El Dorado United Eclipse Luna, a tough opponent they had tied earlier in the season. After Anne Ayotte netted a penalty kick to put Davis up 1-0, El Dorado found an equalizer and the game ended in the second tie between the two teams in as many matches.
In Game 2 the Stampede played the Woodland Fire, another familiar rival whom they had defeated in a scrimmage earlier in the season. This time, however, Woodland came well prepared and their aggressive play was enough to shut out Davis 2-0. It was the Stampede's first loss of the year.
The Stampede found consolation in Game 3 defeating the Placer United Eclipse 3-0 with goals from Lily Byrne, Anne Ayotte and Sophia Karperos.
