The TOPS had battled to the finals securing a Top 8 spot in the Norcal State Cup and would move on to face some challenging teams in the finals. The Girls represented their Soccer club with pride as they played their hearts out in the finals. The TOPS captured 5th place in the Norcal State Cup! The team faced fierce competition throughout the State Cup games. Out of 86 teams in Norcal, the TOPS secured fifth - an amazing and proud moment for the players and Coach Rob Hernandez. The TOPS team, Natalia Bartolome, Kyanna Cruz, Jordan Hong, Anmol Gill, Alex Carpio, Dawson Bell, Andrea Dan, Jessica McNair, Jasmine Barbosa, and Logan Bell also took first place in their league, 10U Girls Norcal Silver Elite League Champions! This has been a fantastic season for the TOPS and the girls have grown and developed into elite soccer players. The level of competition throughout the season was high, however the girls never let that get in the way. The TOPS did an outstanding job and were excited to bring home the fifth place title to the Union City Soccer Club. The TOPS parents, players, and Coach Rob would like to extend a warm thank you to Union City Premier Competitive Soccer Club for their continued support throughout their season! The TOPS are always looking for new, energetic, and competitive players. If interested please call Cindy Beck 408-218-9596 to arrange a time to come out for an informal tryout.
