1v1 With Sally D -- Alumni Game Special

Best Alumni Game Ever!

Alumni from all over converged on Turlock today to play against the Warriors in an epic battle! The Warriors prevailed 2-1 but not before an impressive comeback effort from the elderly crew. The game got off to a great start when Alena Smajlagic scored in the third minute on an assist from Jade Adamson. Jade would then score in the 25th minute to give the Warriors a 2-0 advantage. In the second half grandmother Jenny Rosenberg (who is believed to be in her early 70s) ripped a shot into the far corner to cut the lead in half. Warrior legend (in her own mind) Bre Vaughan made some key saves in the second half to keep the alumni in the game. A shot by alum Cherie Early with 30 seconds to go sailed over the cross bar and the VICTORY went to the Warriors!

A special thanks to all the alumni that participated today: Sela, Cathy, Bre, Jenny, Petra, Domi, Rachel, Mel, Kasey, Karlee, Cherie, Brie, Danielle, VW, Tiffani, Alex, Gennaka, Adrienne, Michelle, Jenna, Genae, Shippy & coach Marti!

Meet the New Team Mascot

If you didn't already know...Krista Messer's adorable dog "Visa" is the official team mascot. Visa attended the Cal State Stanislaus 2-1 win over Cal State East Bay on Sunday. Thanks to Visa's support the Warriors scored two outstanding goals.

The first goal came less than four minutes into the match on a left footed free kick by Heather Overholt that bent around the wall and past the goalkeeper. The Warriors took a 2-0 lead in the 28th minute when Alena Smajlagic chest passed a ball to Jessica Cordova who one-touched it thru for Marissa Dunaway who was making a run behind the East Bay defense. Dunaway one-touched it into the goal. The shutout was the third in the last four games for the Warriors. Next up will be the Alumni Game on April 26th at 1:00 p.m. The game will be played at the Turlock Sports Complex.

Last Chance To See The Warriors Saturday

The Warriors will take on Cal State East Bay tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. at the Turlock Sports Complex in their last spring game. Admission is free.
