Stockton– The Stockton Cargo SC continued their winning ways with their second win of the season after a 7-1 victory over the visiting Olympic Club of San Francisco. The game was played before 350 at the Cargo’s temporary home for Saturday’s game only, Bear Creek High School.
Mika Sayfurhman, formerly of the Afghanistan Women’s National Team, opened up the scoring with her first goal of the season in the 4th minute, assisted by a beautiful set piece service from Hannah Diaz. Maleah Evans then added her first of the season to make the score 2-0 in the 8th minute.
