Champions League Qualifiers

Marin FC 99, Force I, CV San Jose Gunners, Palo Alto Blue

Needing a victory Sunday to capture the title, Force I could only play Marin FC 99 to a scoreless draw, giving the latter the division championship. Force put themselves in this position Saturday by virtue of a 2-2 draw with East Bay United after coming into the weekend tied on points with Marin, who defeated Palo Alto SC Blue 4-0. Despite the setback Saturday, Palo Alto responded in resounding fashion to defeat Santa Rosa United 5-1 on Sunday to claim a Champions League spot with a fourth place finish. CV San Jose FC Gunners Red grabbed the other CL spot with a third-place finish.

As the only men’s division that came into the weekend wrapped up, the two matches for California Odyssey SC didn’t count towards anything, though they won both anyway to win the league by nine points and qualify for the NPL 1. Via a pair of one-goal victories, Central California Soccer Alliance finished second to qualify for the NPL 2, while the Clovis Crossfire and Heritage SC joined them, despite the latter falling 2-1 to the former Sunday.
