2001/02 Gold NPL Boys

Our newly formed 2001/02 Gold NPL Boys competed in the highly prestige Surf Cup. Surf Cup is known to be one of the top tournaments in the nation. The 01/02 Boys started off their tournament with a win (1-0) against Blues FC 01/02 Navy on Sunday afternoon. The next morning, they played against LA Galaxy San Diego. The 01/02 boys were down 1-0, but soon after scored to tie the game. The game ended with a 1-1 draw. That afternoon, the 01/02 boys played their last game of the group stage against a strong Seattle United FC 01/02 team. This game would determine who would win the group and move on to the semi-finals of the tournament. Seattle took the lead with a goal in the 15th minute, but our EBU Bay Oaks boys responded quickly with a goal from a free kick. The game went back and forth with both teams creating opportunities, but it was an unlucky PK in the last 5 mins of the game that would take Seattle United into the next round. On Monday, the boys played a showcase game against RSF Soccer Attack 01 Academy. The 2001/02 Boys went down 2 goals early in the first half. In the second half, the boys picked up their game and scored a goal to bring the game 2-1. The boys kept pressing and created opportunity after opportunity, but could not put the ball in the net to tie the game. The 01/02 boys lost the game 2-1, but had a great showing throughout the tournament.

Our 2003 Gold NPL Boys competed in the Davis Legacy College Showcase in late July. On Saturday, the 2003 boys started off the tournament with a great win over a strong Union Sacramento FC 03, beating them 2-1. Later that day, they squared off against another strong opponent FC Sporting Premier 03. This game ended with a 1-1 draw. The next day they played against Cencal Cosmos 03 Boys Grey. This game was a must win in order to take their group and move on to the quarterfinals. The 2003 boys won the game 2-0 to top the group. Quarterfinals were scheduled to take place that Sunday evening. The 2003 boys were matched up against Turlock Academica Jrs 03 NPL. It was a hard fought game, but the 2003 boys lost 2-1 to the later-to-be champions of the tournament.
