Through three weeks now, the California United Futbol Club continues its unbeaten streak and impressive combined record of 8-0-0 to start the winter season.

U11-Girls - This California United team took on the Oxnard Nacional team in a 1-0 win. Scoring was at a premium as the California United team had plenty of opportunities, but just as many near misses. Marlene Gonzales was able to connect on the lone goal of the game which turned out to be the game winner. The defense held their own as usual with another shut out as Gaby Martinez and Mikayla McKenzie shared goalkeeping duties. Current record 3-0-0.

U12-Boys - This week’s opponent was the Torino FC with a final 5-0 score in favor of California United. The big offensive stats go to Ivan Espino, who had 4 goals (hat trick + 1 ) and 1 assist for good measure. Fernando Pastrana had a hand in 3 of those goals with the assists and scored 1 goal as well for the great team win. Current record 3-0-0.

The U13-Girls had a bye week and stand with a 2-0-0 record.
