As the game grew more physical, WildKatz midfield of Jayden Morton, Karlee Lywandowsky, Sutton Denny, Jadynn King continued to dominate play while maintaining their composure.  From a Wildkatz corner kick, Zusette Zamora curved the ball towards the goal hitting the crossbar and bounced just past the goal line giving West Coast a 2-0 lead. Zamora would score again on a soaring shot over the Shooting Stars keeper into the upper corner of the net. West Coast started to showcase their skill, Nadia Sherman, Alexis Berlin & Cameron Silva Showed accuracy in their passing and controlling of the ball.  In the second half of play, Zamora produce a third goal with a thunderous shot giving her a hat-trick and opened up the Wildkatz lead. Wildkatz defensive line was anchored by Jasmine Staples, Madee Reid, Makenna Galvan, Makena Ross and Taryn Richey who all played stellar to prevent any and all attempts on goal from the Shooting Stars. The match ended with a 4-0 shutout for goal keeper Bella Gelao and the Wildkatz team.  With the win, Wildkatz were crowned California Regional League North Champions and have secured a spot in US Youth Soccer Far West Regionals in June which will take place in Boise, Idaho.
