West Coast Wicked U16 Girls played their first game of the season in the Norcal NPL Champions League on Sunday against Santa Rosa United ECNL.  The game was highlighted as The NPL Champions League Game Of The Week and NorCal was on sight at Cayetano Park in Livermore to film the game and get some post game interviews. West Coast Wicked knew they were going to have to come out strong against ECNL competition and they did, Kaya Scott had a beautiful cross to Bailey Gualco who skied high to head the ball past Santa Rosa for the first goal of the game.  Anaya Shelton streaked past two defenders and got fouled in the box setting her up for a pk and nailed it in the back-left corner.   The first half ended with a 2-0 West Coast lead over Santa Rosa ECNL.   Santa Rosa managed to sneak in a goal in the 52:00 minute of the game but Wicked quickly reorganized and had solid defense to hold off any further attacks ending the game in a 2-1 win over Santa Rosa ECNL.  “Our Wicked team performed outstanding under a ton of pressure playing in their first ever Champions League game, I’m proud of the way the girls played” said West Coast Wicked Coach Troy Dayak.  This was West Coast’s second victory of the day over ECNL opposition.
