7/15/12: Smooth sailing at Santa Rosa

It was Davis 3, opponents 0 at Norcal's Play Date #7 in Santa Rosa.  In a tough Game 1, the locals beat  the Modesto Ajax's U10 team 2-1.  Anne Ayotte scored almost immediately after the opening whistle when she stole the kickoff pass and netted a hard grounder before the befuddled defense knew what hit them.  Modesto played solid soccer throughout and found an equalizer late in the game. However, on a goalkeeper miscue, both Ayotte and teammate Skye Schaffer were able to knock in the game winner amidst a goal line scrum.  Game 2 was all Davis as they punished Santa Rosa's U10 team 3-0.  Goals came from Ayotte assisted by Emily Speakman, Kaitlyn McElhern assisted by Skye Schaffer and from Alex Hanna.  The locals' dominance continued in Game 3 as they beat Sonoma County Alliance 5-1. Yasmeen Dmeiri opened the scoring with a free kick from beyond the 18. The next four came from Lily Byrne, McElhern, Ayotte and Hanna.
