The Manteca Futbol Club under-19 Alliance team finished as tournament champion at the 2012 Davis Legacy College Showcase Tournament from July 12 to 15 in Davis, the team’s first tournament of the 2012-13 season.

Alliance started the weekend with two decisive wins, a 6-0 win over Diablo FC Blue the Crew and a 6-1 win over Mustang Soccer Velocity. Alliance had a 2-1 loss to American River FC Freedom but still qualified for the semifinal round.

Alliance went on to beat EGAFC Heat 2-0 and continued to the championship game, where Marissa Paz, also a player on the Kimball High soccer team, scored a hat trick as her team beat Placer United White 3-1 for the tournament title. That performance landed Paz the tournament’s Most Valuable Player award.

The Alliance team also includes Mollie Brady, a Kimball player, and Kellie Piazza and Shelby Devlin, who both go to Tracy High. Other players come from Manteca, Stockton and Modesto.
