Soul fans! The Soul head over to the North Bay to face The Marin F.C. Siren at San Rafael High School Stadium at 4:00 p.m.

Siren are not good, with a 1-6-2 record. Their win is over Pleasanton RAGE, and they picked up points in another match against RAGE and against Academica. They have scored 13 goals, which is just a little more than Nayeli Diaz and Sam Tran have scored.

Soul are ahead of Cal Storm by three, but Storm have a game in hand on them. This afternoon Storm play Glens, which you’d expect Glens to win, but this is a chance for things to get real weird if Storm somehow pulled out a draw. The other big chance of this to get weird is that Storm’s last match is against Stockton Cargo, who are very clearly the fourth best team, with 18 points, 8 points ahead of Olympic Club. Cargo have won every game except their games against the big three, so I’m glad the Soul have those fixtures in the rear view mirror.
