As NorCal Premier Soccer inches closer and closer to crowning its State Cup champions for the 2017-18 year, the matches become tighter and tighter. This was evidenced at Mary Grogan Park in Modesto this past weekend, where 20 of the 40 games in the State Division were decided by either one goal or on kicks from the mark. But it wasn’t just the State Divisions that were in action — close to 200 games were played in all divisions in Modesto and at the Davis Legacy Soccer Complex in Davis. The prize? Advancing to May 12th’s State Cup semifinals.
