This Week 9-23-24

Our coverage was in San Jose Friday for Bay FC and Saturday for the Quakes.  There was a match Sunday at St. Mary’s College in Moraga for The Town FC.

Doug at Soccer Bay Area has the summary of Bay FC’s loss to Orlando in which the home team almost stole a point, possibly three, from the top team in the NWSL.  It was Barbara Banda’s goal late in the game that made the home team end up with zero to show despite a stellar defensive effort.

The Quakes draw away against Seattle 2-2 on Wednesday but lose 2-1 at home against St. Louis. They head to Canada this weekend to face Montreal.

Soccer Bay Area and The Roots Blog have their analysis on the team’s loss to Hartford on the road.

One more from the lower leagues where Rush Silicon Valley and Club Tepa from South San Francisco draw even at 2-2 in a NISA Nation match in San Jose. After the conclusion of the Quakes and Bay FC season we will be on that beat for select matches.
