Kassy Rodriguez and Viviana Albor each added two goals while Daniela Dela Riva and Krissy Lolonis each found the net once. Goalkeepers Megan Humphrey and Payton Bohannon each played shutout soccer in the net.

VARSITY BOYS
The varsity Mustang boys played one game this week. On Tuesday, Dec. 5 the team traveled to Turlock to take on the Pitman Pride. Coming off a long weekend tournament, Oakdale struggled to get in the groove and lost by a 2-0 final. Pitman scored both goals in the second half to defeat the Mustangs in non-league play.
“We were spent from a long tournament, that we played in Turlock just days before the game,” said head Coach Alfredo Quiroga. “We just did not have the energy to keep up with them.”
Oakdale closes out the preseason with a pair of home games this week.
On Monday, Dec. 11 the team hosted Galt, following The Leader’s press time. They will host Livingston on Wednesday, Dec. 13 at 5:15 p.m.
JV BOYS
Members of the JV boys soccer squad made the most of their one contest this past week. The JV team doubled up the Pride with a 4-2 road win. Goals by Sergio Millard, Caden Frazee, Dillon French and Brandon Martinez anchored the team’s win. Frazee had two assists in the win and Julian Renteria also had an assist. The boys will host Livingston on Wednesday, Dec. 13 at 3:30 p.m.
