Five Tracy girls soccer teams were among the 26 teams that competed in the Tracy United Girls Invitational this past weekend.

The event, hosted by Tracy Youth Soccer League, brought 14 teams from the California Youth Soccer Association under-16 Division 3, and 12 teams in the U14 Division 3,to Plasencia Fields for two days of play.

The U14 Tracy United Xtreme took fourth place in their tournament. They started with a 7-0 win over San Ramon Azuri and a 3-0 win over the over the Walnut Creek Raptors on Saturday, and then played to a 0-0 tie wit Oakdale Rage to take the third seed going into the finals.

Oakdale Rage beat Xtreme 1-0 in the consolation final. Champions were the Dublin Crush with a 2-1 win over Hayward Leon.

Also in the U14 division, Tracy United Crush, which took second in the CYSA State Cup U11 tournament back in February and moved above the girls’ age group for this event, went 1-1-1. The Crush took a 2-1 loss to Hayward Leon and a 0-0 tie with the Manteca Lady Rangers on Saturday, and a 3-0 win over Tracy United Havoc on Sunday. Havoc went 0-3 for the weekend, including a 4-0 loss to Manteca Lady Rangers and a 5-0 loss to Hayward Leon.

Tracy’s U16 teams ended up shy of the finals, where Oakdale United Insanity beat the Ukiah Pumas 3-1 for the championship, and Capital Valley United Rage beat Sonoma Xtreme 3-2 for third place.

Tracy United Pride, in its first tournament as a new team, went 1-2, with a 2-1 loss to CV United and a 3-1 win over Sierra United Wildfire on Saturday, and a 4-0 loss to the Ukiah Pumas on Sunday. Tracy United Eliminators went 1-2, with a 7-0 loss to Oakdale United Insanity and a 2-1 loss to Santa Clara Tsunamis on Saturday, and a 4-0 win over Sierra United Wildfire on Sunday.

TYSL traditionally hosts a girls’ and a boys’ tournament the first and third weekends of August. Darlene Wilharm, registrar for TYSL, said the annual tournament will probably be a combined event next year as there weren’t enough sign-ups for a boys tournament this year. Instead, on Aug. 21 TYSL will host a TOPS Soccer Jamboree, a day of competition for youths with disabilities.
