First place Barcelona SC Blue GU11 remains undefeated after Saturdays 5-0 victory over visiting team VC Fusion YSA Camarillo.  As predicted, Barca Blue dominated the field, allowing the opponents no shots on goal and limited possession of the ball. Barca's goalkeeper touched the ball only once during the team's sixth shutout of the season. 
 
To hone their skills in preparation for more serious competition, the girls were encouraged to play a concerted passing game throughout, limiting breakaways.  For the first time of the season, each goal recorded was scored by a different player.
 
An easier competition afforded Coach Melissa Fernandez the opportunity to expose her players to other positions, giving them a different view of the game.  Allowing the girls to explore their talents and ultimately become more well-rounded,  Coach Melissa mixed up her winning formula and placed some defenders up front while forwards and midfielders were moved further back.  To maximize the learning experience, the coach then encouraged the girls to describe their new roles on the field and to compare them with the normal positions they play.
 
Barca Blue continues to build on their strong chemistry, maturing and improving with each game they play. The girls are now over the halfway hump of the season, and are coasting towards the finish line with their eyes on the prize!
