The Stampede took three of four games over the weekend to win 3rd Place in Sac United's OctoBOOfest tournament. A second half surge in Game 1 on Saturday gave Davis the shutout over Sonoma County Alliance 3-0. With the score still 0-0, Lily Byrne picked her way through the defense to score what turned out to be the game winner. Soon after, Byrne assisted Olivia Smith who buried one from inside the box. Byrne was later fouled in the penalty area and Anne Ayotte netted the penalty. Game 2 matched Davis against the very strong and aggressive Pleasanton Rage. After another scoreless first half, Anne Ayotte passed in a short corner kick and then drove in a hard near post grounder after Smith played it back to her. The second goal came when Mckenna Lutzker made her way up the left baseline and threaded the ball past two defenders and the Pleasanton keeper for a final score of 2-0 and the day's second shutout. Sunday morning the Stampede faced the league leading El Dorado United who overcame Davis' early offensive push to win the game 3-0. The Stampede faced Bay Oaks in the final game for 3rd Place Sunday afternoon. Late in the first half Yasmeen Dmeiri sent in a cross to Sophia Karperos in front of the goal who in turn powered in a deflection off the Bay Oaks defender for the assist and the game's first goal. In the second half, Grace Carlson crafted a perfect cross to the wide open Byrne on the right wing who one-touched in the second goal cementing the win and the medal.
