49ER UNITED SOCCER WINS 16U CHAMPIONSHIP IN KICKOFF

On Sunday afternoon at Bear River High School it was sophomore goal-keeper Jessie Cregar who made a diving save to win the 16u championship at the 15th annual 49er Gold Rush Classic soccer tournament while playing for the the 49er United team.

The tournament was comprised of 130 teams from Northern California ages 8-19. The 49er United u16 girls team was undefeated entering Sunday's contest as was their opponent the Norcal Elite, which is a team from Sacramento. The game ended in a 0-0 tie so it went to goal kicks. 49er United made 3 of their five kicks while the Elite only made 2 of 4. The championship came down to one final kick when 14 yr old Jessie Cregar made the much needed play to lift her team to victory.
