STATE CUP SOCCER — The Ajax United 03G Green soccer team fell Saturday in the NorCal State Cup Under-15 Girls Final 1-0 to Central California Soccer Alliance at Cosumnes River College. After a scoreless first half, CCSA scored off a deflection off a corner kick in the 47th minute. “It was a tough loss against a team we beat 3-0 (earlier this season),” coach Josh Handley said. “We just couldn’t get the pieces together today. But, we’re very happy with the season. We had a positive run. There are a lot of girls getting good looks from colleges. We’re playing at a very high level.” In another State Cup final at Cosumnes, the Under-15 boys Ceres Earthquakes FC lost 6-4 to Central Valley Leon.
