We were there for the second half of the match. The match was scoreless at the half but El Farolito took the lead with a scramble in the box that was lobbed in for the goal in the early part of the second half. The end result was a 1-1 draw.

With Stockton FC pulling out of the conference the schedule has been revised. The season already got underway last weekend with Napa Valley defeating Academica SC 2-0, and some further changes to the slate have been made.
The Stompers/Napa Valley game that was scheduled for March 16 will now be played June 8 (in which Stockton was to play at Oakland)–the UPSL Stompers will play instead. Napa instead will have 2 more weeks to resume league play with their opener against El Farolito on March 30. All teams that were scheduled to play Stockton on the given night will now have a bye.

We were at the Quakes friendly against the Sounders. The result was a 2-2 draw with Seattle taking the 2-0 lead into halftime, only to give it away thanks to two penalty kick goals by Chris Wondolowski in the 57th and 61 minutes. The next game for both teams will be their league openers on March 2 with the Quakes hosting Montreal and the Sounders at home playing against expansion team FC Cincinnati.
