THIS WEEK IN EARTHQUAKES HISTORY

A look back on important moments in Quakes history that took place during the week of March 21 - 27.

March 21, 1997 - Acquired Ronald Cerritos as an MLS allocated player

The Earthquakes acquired forward Ronald Cerritos as an MLS allocated player on March 21, 1997. The San Salvador, El Salvador native scored in his MLS debut against the LA Galaxy and scored an additional 11 goals during his first season for the Earthquakes, earning him MLS Best XI honors and a place in the 1997 MLS West All-Star team. Cerritos was the Quakes' leading scorer in 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2001. In 2001, he also helped the Earthquakes win their first MLS Cup and was selected to the West All-Star team. The forward left the Earthquakes after the 2001 season but returned in 2005 for one final season with San Jose.

March 22, 2015 - Defeated Chicago Fire FC 2-1 in first match at PayPal Park

The Earthquakes defeated Chicago Fire FC 2-1 in their inaugural match at PayPal Park on March 22, 2015. Rookie midfielder Fatai Alashe opened the scoring with the Quakes' first-ever goal in their new stadium, while defender Ty Harden scored the eventual winner for the home side. Harrison Shipp scored Chicago's lone goal, but it was not enough to sour the Quakes' PayPal Park debut.
