U15 GIRLS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SCHEDULE

SPRING PREVIEW

In a division in which most of the teams have played just a handful of games, Marin FC (14 points) and San Juan Spirits (14 points) each sit at the top of the table with identical 4-0-2 records. But leading the division in points per game are Clovis Crossfire (13 points), who have played one fewer game but drawn one fewer as well. Clovis are a well-rounded side that boast the most goals in the division with 21 including four each from Mary Rameriz, Mia Mirelez, and Logan Nidey. Crossfire are also currently tied with Marin for the second-fewest allowed with six. Meanwhile, San Juan’s three goals allowed represents the best defensive record in the division. Olivia Loomis has led the attack scoring four of the nine San Juan goals. Rounding out the top four is Santa Rosa United (12 points), though the North Bay club are the only side in this division to have played seven games so far. Ari Carrillo has had an excellent first half of the campaign for Santa Rosa scoring five goals and assisting three.
