Steelhead Struggle

by Pete Shepard

The U11B,D1 soccer team (Mad River Steelhead) played Novato Saturday and came away on the short end of a 3-1 score. The first half saw the Novato eleven score first. Just before half time Diego Ramirez drilled a 20 yarder past a diving goal keeper. Early in the second half Novato scored two excellent long shots to win the contest.

On Sunday the Steelhead team came up against a determined Napa team. The first half was all Napa as they scored three unanswered goals. Two minutes into the second half they scored again. Late in the game the Steelhead team came alive with Logan Rooney scoring on a thru pass from Carter Johnson. Rooney scored the last goal on a Penality Kick. Final score 4-2.
