The U-13s' Saturday contest was even until a Jonah Douhab score late in the first half. The forward made no mistake to capitalize from just outside the six-yard box after intercepting a pass from the opposition. He scored again after the hour mark, before Grayson Utush and Tegvir Bhinder added their name to the score sheet.

Sunday's action against SF Glens saw the U-15s return to league play with a 7-1 win, and the U-17s take a tough 3-0 defeat. Left-back Christian Azevedo and midfielder Da'vian Kimbrough each netted a brace in the U-15's match, which saw five total players score by the hour mark. Glens pulled one back in the 66th minute, but Sacramento netted one more before the final whistle sounded.

Looking Ahead:

The U-13s and U-14s are set to face Silicon Valley SA April 2 as they look to stay on the top half of their respective divisions. The U-15s and U-17s return to action April 15 against De Anza Force as the U-17s try to climb up the standings as berths in the MLS NEXT Cup Playoffs are on the line.
