A small quirk on the schedule this year saw two-time Ron Newman Cup finalists Soles de Sonora visit the Accesso ShoWare Center in Kent on back-to-back nights. The Stars knew the 1-9 Soles squad would provide a tough test and the Stars would need to keep forward Franck Tayou in check.
Saturday’s game was played in front of 3,487 fans, featuring the championship teams from Washington Youth Soccer. Things started off even for the two squads with neither team striking in the first frame of play. However, Soles grabbed a two nothing lead as the second quarter passed via goals from Tayou and Victor Quiroz.
