Both these squads head into the semifinals having scored big 3-0 victories in the previous round of the tournament, but it was the Turlock Tornados who had to fight much harder for their spot. In a win over EC Real Galaxy, the Tornados saved a penalty and fought off waves of attack for the entirety of the match, while Lamorinda cruised to a victory over EBU Bay Oaks Gold in a match that never seemed to be in question. |
