California United is back at it again with three of its teams seeing action this past weekend. The girls U-11 team came out extremely determined, and it showed, as they played their first game in a new league. CU took on Valley United from San Fernando and got off to a fast start finishing the first half 9-0 and eventually winning the game 12-2. There were three players with a hat trick this day ( 3 goals ), Kari Terrazas, Jadon Rodriguez and Marlene Gonzales and three more players with one goal apiece Fatima Alvarado, Miley Tello and Jessica Rodriguez.

The boys U-13 team also had a hard fought, close victory versus Oxnard Pal winning the game 2-1. The first goal was scored by Arnulfo “Chino” Zepeda on the assist by Johnny Zoto and the second goal, which would be the eventual game winner, by Diego Alcaraz.

U-12 also had a close game edging out the Tigres 4-3 behind 2 goals by Ivan Espino and one goal each by Juan Garza, and Samuel Govea. This team also played last Saturday with a 4-2 win over U de G. Alejandro Lanza had 2 goals with Ivan Espino and Fernando Pastrana with 1 goal.
