Golden Sombrero Leads 15’s Past Ballistic
Dominating the weekend was the U15’s strong showing – their eighth in a row by more than one score.

By the end of the contest, Sacramento would put seven more on the board and secure their second clean sheet in as many weeks.
The squad’s offensive showcase included a golden sombrero by one of the team’s strikers, who after bagging one in the 13th minute to put Sacramento up 2-0, found the net three more times in the 60th, 67th, and 69th minutes. With four in the bag this week, his tally went up to seven scores over his squad’s last three matches.
U14’s Shut Down Santa Rosa
Sacramento’s U14s stretched their run of strong form with a 2-0 win over Atletico Santa Rosa. Their third clean sheet win in their last four matches was highlighted by strong play from the backline, who in addition to a strong day netted both of Republic FC’s scores.
With the win, the side stays unbeaten in league play with a record of 15 wins, 0 losses, and 3 draws, just a point back of San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS NEXT Northwest Division.
