Despite the heavy loss against the Sockers with the final result of 12-1, Turlock had a 7 to 5 victory at home against Tacoma stars who had beat Soles de Sonora (2-1) previously. New Signings Anibal Echeverria and Matthew Germain were the top leaders both defensively and offensively during the match against the Stars.
