Temperatures nearing triple digits provided a heated backdrop for an intense game, as Escalon’s number two seed varsity Lady Cougars hosted three seed West Campus of Sacramento in a May 14 soccer semifinal contest. The host squad fell in a 4-2 final to the eventual Sac-Joaquin Section Division V champions, with West Campus going on to defeat Central Catholic in the final game, 3-0, on May 17. “We gave them the closest game they played,” Escalon head coach Jamie Peoples said of her team’s battle with West Campus, which came in to the contest as a high-powered offense, often scoring a half dozen goals or more in a game.
