4/12/12: Stampede off to solid start
The Stampede had a win, a loss and a tie this past weekend at Norcal's Playdate #2 in Stockton. Down 0-1 in the first game against Manteca, Jordan Davis scored from the right side on an assist from Lily Byrne to tie the game. After a second-half penalty, Manteca was back on top, 2-1. However, the Stampede came back to finalize the tie after Jordan Davis netted her second goal of the match on a breakaway. Goalkeeper Alex Hanna made key saves all game long. Game 2 matched the Stampede against Sac United who came away with the victory, 3-1. Yasmeen Dmeiri scored late with a towering drive from outside the 18. The Stampede found their stride again in the final game, beating Elk Grove 4-3. Jordan Davis pounded in 3 more goals, two on assists from Anne Ayotte (one being a corner). Ayotte found the net herself on an assist from Byrne. Great defense included tough play from Emily Speakman, Alex Hanna and Sophie Karperos.
