Fusion U16 Boys Maroon Team in State Cup Success

The Livermore Fusion U16 Boys Maroon team, lead by Coach CJ Salazar, played El Dorado Hills this past Sunday in the NorCal State Cup Round of 16. Both teams were well matched, and battled for possession every minute of the game. Fusion's goalkeeper, Connor Richardson, was ready for the challenge, stopping shot after shot that came his way. The defensive leadership and quick speed of Matthew Garcia, Jack Schoendienst, Cameron Ourdoune and Devon Shortridge was essential to holding El Dorado's offense at bay, while Max Ibanez, Jonathan Banales, Luisangel Ortiz, Jaime Osorio and Luis Garcia worked together to lock down the mid-field. Alec Foster, Luis Ceja, Roberto Soto, Gio Vera and Brandon Replogle made several strong plays and shot attempts that kept their team on El Dorado's half for a majority of the game. After working the ball down the right side of the field through El Dorado's strong defense, Trevor Ross crossed it towards the net, where Luis Garcia was perfectly positioned to receive the rebound and blast it in, scoring the only goal of the game and advancing the team to the Quarter-finals.
