Yes there was plenty of soccer played this past weekend. But lets start by talking about the really important part of this weekend's road trip -- THE FOOD! After our game against Fresno State (a 1-0 loss) we headed over to Tiffani Moore's house for a BBQ. It was amazing! Tri-tip, BBQ chicken, baked beans, rice, rolls, iced tea, and mini-muffin brownies. Have you ever noticed how food in "mini" form is always amazing? At some point we will have pictures of this great BBQ but for now we just want to thank Tiffani's great family for hosting us.The games against Fresno State and University of Pacific were very hard fought and a terrific opportunity to play against some outstanding competition. They were also both a homecoming of sorts for some of our players. In Fresno in addition to Tiffani's family we also saw Jessica Cordova's family (she is from Buchanon High School) and Alena's host family who is from Lemoore. Alena is from Sweden but when she was attending junior college at West Hills she stayed with a host family.
When we went to Stockton to play UOP it is safe to say half the fans in the stands were friends and family of Vanessa Cervantes. Vanessa, a freshman, played in her first two college games this weekend starting a center back. She was amazing! It was her first real games in TWO YEARS! She spent the last two years recovering from two ACL injuries. She played the entire 90 minutes against UOP.
Now we are getting ready for a trip to the Bay Area to play San Jose State on Saturday. There is also a rumor we will be eating at the home of Jessica Sitarz. We will keep you posted. In the meantime check out our pictures from this weekend.
