u9-orange
Congratulations to the Pleasanton RAGE u9 Orange on winning the 2015 Pleasanton Rage Showcase.  The team, coached by Axel Thibodeau, went undefeated (4-0) to win the championship.  Following the Spring season where the girls played up at u10, this was their first time playing at their age group – and they didn’t disappoint.  They beat Santa Rosa, Clovis, and Mustang Mercury before heading into the championship game against Mustang’s #1 team, Xplosion.  
 
Led offensively by Giana Owens, Giana Guerrero, Riley Horn and Aishwarya Anburaja – the girls went ahead early with two quick goals.  Alden Hofstede, Ava Haviley and Aleka Mandava held down the midfield; while Abby Mai, Eva Torrico, Presley Cash and Reese Gotchall stellar defense limited Mustang’s scoring opportunities.  At full time the game was 3-1, Orange on top and riding momentum into the Fall season.
