The Fusion 00 Girls Maroon team continued on their winning ways with 2 big wins this past weekend, defeating Castro Valley 3-1 and Lamorinda 6-1.  Not only do these wins keep Fusion's record intact, they were impressive wins, as both opponents are top premier teams in Norcal, Lamorinda placing in the top 8. 

On Saturday, Fusion played one of their strongest games of the season.  Assisted by Aly Silva, Nikki Trucco opened up the scoring with a beautifully placed shot.  Kailee Haskins then got in the mix, setting up Aly Silva for the scond goal of the game.  Castro Valley attempted to fight back, getting on the scoreboard with a goal of their own but it was not enough to hold off the Fusion team.  Returning to the scoreboard again, Aly Silva brought up the ball on her own for Fusion's third goal.  The team played incredibly, with an impressive speed of play, proving to be too much for the Castro Valley team to contend with.

Then, on Sunday, Fusion took on the Norcal 8th place Lamorinda team.  Again, their speed of play proved to be too much for their opponent.  Lamorinda, surprised by the strength of the Fusion team, went down 3-0 in the first half and never recovered.  Kailee Haskins started off the scoring frenzy for Fusion, with a well-placed ball off of Kamy Farro's corner.  Then Nikki Trucco took her turn, intercepting a goal kick and scoring unassisted.  Kamy Farro returned to the scoreboard, finishing a ball sent to her from Sarah Vlha.  Lamorinda kept the pressure up and connected on a penalty kick but that did not change the pace for Fusion.  Answering back, Kamy Farro made her second goal unassisted.  Then, Sarah Baxter got into the action, sending a ball in to Hailey Thompson to finish for a 5th goal.  Then, coming full circle, Kailee Haskins finished the game the same way she had started it, scoring Fusion's final goal.

As the team nears the end of their season, they hope to keep their undefeated record alive.  Doing so would qualify them for the cross-regional playoffs in June.  We wish the team well in their endeavors and look forward to hearing more on this amazing group of players, determined to put Livermore on the soccer map.
