West Coast Kaos U16 Girls – After four months of playing with their high school teams, the U16 West Coast Kaos girls participated in their first college showcase of the season, Players Showcase Las Vegas. Kaos battled teams from San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Phoenix to impress college coaches from across the country.

Kaos took their first two matches of the tournament to find their groove and shake off the cobwebs from a long winter break. In the first match of the tournament, Kaos fell 2-0. The second game, late in the evening on Friday, had a similar outcome. Kaos gave up a goal early in the first half and had numerous shots on goal but nothing would find the back of the net.

Determined to turn things around, Kaos showed up strong on Saturday in their match against Santa Monica, who were undefeated going into the match. Kaos’ Anaya Shelton, scored first late in the first half. In the second half, Shelton found the net two more goals with assits from Alina Garcia. This was first hat trick of the season for Shelton. The fourth of the match was earned by Jordyn Silva with an assist from Shelton. The girls took this opportunity impress several college coaches.

In their final match of the showcase against Arizona’s SC Del Sol Academy, Kaos scored first with a header goal from Silva with an assist from Alivia Ganz. In the second half Kaos followed with their second goal from Shelton with an assist from Alondra Higareda. The third goal came from a PK in the box awarded to Makeila Yancey. And the final goal of the match came from a breakaway from Shelton. Kaos claimed the 4-0 victory.

West Coast Warriors U17 girls performed well against top teams from Texas, Washington, Cal South and Colorado. Although the team played well the goal production fell short and they did not get the results in all close matches. 

West Coast Wildfire U18/19 girls finished up their last Players Showcase with outstanding results on and off the field. With three wins over Long Beach FC, LA Galaxy, East Side FC-Washington and one loss to Phoenix Rising from Arizona, Wildfire placed 2nd in the College Showcase.  Many of the seniors on Wildfire were being recruited while at the tournament and one player, Jessa Lyons even committed to Indiana Tech University on a soccer scholarship after their last game on Sunday.
