West Coast Soccer Wicked NPL 04 closed out October play with a decisive 4-0 State Cup Group play win over local rival San Ramon FC. West Coast started off quick when defender Allyson Thompson stepped up to take a free kick and smashed a 35 yard laser to get Wicked on the board within the 1st 5 minutes of the game for a 1-0 lead. Coupled with two more goals from forward Kaya Scott and mid-fielder Maddie Herrera, Wicked went into the break with a comfortable 3-0 lead. Looking to gain some momentum in the 2nd half, San Ramon turned up the intensity which resulted in a physical half with both teams frequently hitting the turf. Mid-fielder Makeila Yancey found the back of the net one more time to slam the door on San Ramon’s hopes of a comeback and gave the Wicked girls a 4-0 victory. Solid teamwork by the defensive line, MaryJane Anzo, Allyson Thompson, Andrea Castillo and Sabrina Rogers.  Midfielders Miranda Valle, Makeila Yancey, Madison Herrera, Alexi Ochoa, and Adrianna Martins moved the ball fast and worked hard to control the tempo of the game. The victory on Sunday puts West Coast at the top of the group with 14 goals for and no goals against, extended Wicked’s win streak to 8 games and sets up a NPL Champions League showdown on Nov. 3rd against Pleasanton Rage.
