Millennium 7, Delta Charter 0

The Delta Charter and Millennium soccer teams faced off during Tuesday’s rain storm, with the Falcons taking the 7-0 win.

It puts the Falcons at 6-0-1 for the season, and the Dragons at 0-3. It was Delta Charter’s first home game on West High’s soccer field, where the Dragons will play all of their home games this year.

Millennium stayed on offense for most of the game and took a 4-0 lead at the half on two goals from Anneliese Bradley and goals from Nataly Solis and Drew Robbins. Sana Sharifi, Amber De La Cruz and Estefania Torres scored Millennium’s goals in the second half.

Millennium coach Mario Ron said he took the chance to get in all of his players to make sure everyone on the team can work together.

“I’m more concerned with how the ladies move the ball, and in these types of situations we can take advantage of everybody playing and moving the ball.

Delta Charter coach Avo Atoian said that even with a loss he is encouraged with every game his team plays.

“With a new team it’s very tough to get some games, but I know for a fact that every game our girls are improving,” he said. “Our goal is to get better and better every game. I know that the next couple of games will be good games for us.”

Delta Charter plays next at Venture Academy in Stockton on Thursday, and Millennium will start Central California Athletic Alliance play on Thursday at Big Valley Christian in Modesto.
