09/09/12: Stampede victorious in weekend matches

The locals started off a winning weekend Saturday afternoon by beating Sacramento's Capital Athletic Soccer Club Boca 4-3 in their first Norcal fall league game.  Jordan Davis scored two goals, one on an assist from Lily Byrne and the other on a second half breakaway.  Anne Ayotte netted another off a hard cross from Davis, and Byrne scored on a body shot off an artful corner kick by Yasmeen Dmeiri.  The girls traveled to Fairfield Sunday morning and bested the North Bay Elite in a qualifying round of the State Cup, 3-1.  Davis again netted two, the first assisted by Ayotte.  Adeline Umphress scored the third on a left-footer from inside the penalty area.
