On Saturday, April 22, though they had only 8 players and no substitutes, the Delta

Breeze girls 12U team almost came away with a win while playing as the visiting team against the Livermore Phantoms. Scoring for Delta Breeze were Sophia Pistello (3), Korinna Romero (2), and Cailey Feague with one goal, in the 7-6 loss.

While playing at Freedom High School on April 22, the Delta Breeze 12U team took a 14-1 loss to the visiting Lamorinda Lacrosse Club with one score coming from Noah Shappet. While Delta Breeze only had 9 play- ers, Lamorinda came to win with 18 competitive players. With well coached and seasoned players, Lamorinda was able to shut down almost every Delta Breeze scoring opportunity. In the subsequent 14U game, it appeared that Delta Breeze was going to win 2-1. However with 30 seconds left in the game, Lamorinda scored their second goal. Though both teams had the opportunity to break the tie in the “next score wins” overtime period, the game ended in a competitive and hard fought 2-2 tie. Superb goal tending from Caden Kyle, and superb defensive play from Easton Quiles, Jaxon Salazar, Kory Dake, and Ethan Lind prevented another Delta Breeze loss.
