Welcome to 2019. There was one game over the weekend but that was a makeup game from November 2018 when it was originally scheduled but was delayed mainly due to the Camp Fire.
In a game that was marked by the cold and pockets of rain, Academica SC advances over the Oakland Stompers 1-0 with a late goal in the 80th minute. The Turlock club now awaits their opponent in April.
And it's all over. @AcademicaSC with an 80th minute goal triumphs over @OaklandStompers with a 1-0 win. #USOC2019
