6/24/12: Stampede take two of three in Fairfield

The locals logged two wins and a tie last Sunday at Norcal's Playdate #6 hosted by the North Bay Elite FC.  Game 1 was a 5-0 rout over the Elk Grove Everton FC Blues.  Goals came on two penalty kicks taken by Yasmeen Dmeiri, with three more on shots by Adeline Umphress, Sophia Karperos and Lily Byrne.  The Stampede then beat the Capital Athletic Soccer Academy Boca, 3-1, which featured a rare end-to-end goal by keeper McKenna Lutzker after the opposing goalie was unable to handle the high bouncing punt.  Two more came from Jordan Davis and Dmeiri.  Game 3 presented more of a challenge and, despite numerous Stampede shots and better ball possession, the locals could do no better than a 1-1 tie, the first-half score coming from Grace Barger assisted by J. Davis.
