The USL Championship schedule was announced a while back but we have the fixtures for Oakland, Monterey, and Sacramento.

USL Championship Schedule

Kevin Nguyen of Soccer Bay Area has the extended take on the Quakes win over Atlanta and the debut of Timo Werner.  His possible impact on the developing players is also explained and may allow them to play a free form of soccer.

Timo Werner shines in San Jose debut: ‘I’m here to be a leader’

 

Bay FC lands a splash of their own with this signing.  The team acquires Italian international Cristiana Girelli on loan from Juventus through August of this year.  However this will be a short term stay with her providing cover while some players are out on leave.  Stay tuned on how her stint will play out but for the first half of the season she will provide some offensive spark.
