U16 GIRLS STATE SEMIFINAL A |
5/13 | Force | ![](https://norcalpremier.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/de-anza-force.png) | 5:50 PM | ![](https://norcalpremier.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Lamorinda-club-logo.png) | Lamorinda United |
Down 1-0 at halftime, Force ECNL survived a scare from SF Elite Academy, and were able to show their credentials by coming back for a 3-1 victory to book their semifinal spot. Force’s strength clearly lies in their attack, where their form in the knockout rounds of State Cup have seen them score eight times in just two matches. Their opponents are NPL Champions League side Lamorinda Navy, who have scored 15 goals in their three knockout round games, but only five in their last two: a pair of one-goal victories. |

U16 GIRLS STATE SEMIFINAL B |
5/13 | Tahuichi FC | ![](https://norcalpremier.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/tahuichi-fc.png) | 5:50 PM | ![](https://norcalpremier.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/davis-logo.png) | Davis Legacy |
Despite losing a player to a red card right before the end of their quarterfinal, Tahuichi Red were able to overcome adversity in winning a penalty shootout over Diablo FC. The match was one of the closest of the quarterfinal round, with each side having a chance to come out as the winner if a few different bounces had gone their way. Meanwhile, NPL Champions League winner Davis Legacy cruised into the semifinals with a 6-0 victory over the San Bruno Tornados. The Legacy have now scored 14 goals in their two knockout round games. |
