Santa Rosa proves "champion worthy"

The Falcons closed out their 2019 Big 8 schedule with a 3-1 loss to Big 8 champion Santa Rosa on Friday afternoon in Santa Rosa.  The two teams were tied at halftime, 1-1, after Tanner Boyea knotted the score with his fifth goal of the season in the 15^th minute.  That would be all the scoring for the Falcons, though, as Santa Rosa took the lead for good in the 78^th minute and added an insurance goal five minutes later. 

The Bear Cubs (9-0-1) were nearly perfect in Big 8 play, having only a tie against FLC in October keeping them from 10-0.  The Falcons finished second in the tough Big 8 at 5-3-2 and are seeded number 3 in NorCal for the CCCAA state playoffs, which will begin on Saturday November 23 with a home match at Falcon Stadium against #14 seed Feather River at 4:00 pm.
