Just four teams in each division remained heading into this past weekend of the U14-U19 NorCal State Cup as the semifinals took place Saturday at Davis Legacy Soccer Complex and Turlock Regional Sports Complex.

After an exciting day of soccer, the winners of each game advanced to the finals, which will be held June 1 and 2 at Cosumnes River College in Sacramento.

Overall, there are 48 different divisions in State Cup, meaning 96 games were played between 192 different teams Saturday.

The competition began all the way back in the fall when each side played in a four-team group stage to determine placement in the knockout rounds, which began two months ago.

Some teams entered in the round of 32, while others earned byes into the round of 16–any team still alive in State Cup has now won at least three knockout round games to make it to this point.
