Diablo FC 92 girls have had a busy schedule during the past two weekends playing 9 games over 9 days in Morgan Hill and La Jolla. In 7 of the 9 games coach Richard Weiszmann's U16 girls didn't give up a goal.

Last weekend they posted three straight shutout wins to advance in CYSA State Cup. They will be in the State Cup Sweet 16 on April 18. (As will the Diablo 94 and Diablo 94 Blue U14 girls teams!)

This weekend they went to the prestigious Nomads College Coaches Showcase on the beautiful UC San Diego campus. They played 6 games between Friday morning and Sunday afternoon. Their two games Sunday went to penalty kicks in the semi-finals and overtime in the finals as they won the tournament. Teams from Utah, Arizona, Idaho, Minnesota and Southern California took part in their Premier flight of 20 teams. They drew their second game with Wolfpack SC 1-1 but won the other five at Nomads, including a rematch with Wolfpack that went to penalty kicks in the semis.

The championship game was against Santa Clarita Blazers (ranked #24 in the USA) and Diablo FC 92 won 1-0 in OT.
