On Saturday, the Quakes’ U-12s, U-13s and U-14s all faced Santa Rosa United here in the Bay Area. One U-12 team won 4-3, while the other fell 2-0. It marked the first loss for either U-12 side since Sept. 17. The U-13s played to a scoreless draw and the U-14s earned a dominant 3-0 victory.
The Quakes’ U-16s and U-18s both traveled to Santa Ana to take on Strikers FC. The U-16s fell 3-2 and the U-18s dropped their match 4-1. The two teams then traveled to UC Irvine to face Pateadores on Sunday, with the U-16s falling 2-0 and the U-18s winning 2-1. Arda Bulut, Alexander Guevara and Amado Lozano each scored over the weekend for the oldest Earthquakes’ side.
