Will C. Wood, meanwhile, was supposed to do the same but didn't. Wood made the trip to Fairfield before referees determined the field and the goals at the Falcons' home site, Dover Middle School, were not regulation size. Referees made their ruling and then left after deciding the field was not big enough for high school play. Wood athletic director Tracy Boyd said the decision to reschedule the game or call it a forfeit is now in the hands of the schools' two principals. The Wildcats left soon afterwards for a trip to Southern California.
Wood begins play in a weekend tournament in Bakersfield today.
Vacaville did get its game in but lost to Armijo 3-2 at Willis Jepson Middle School. Vacaville went up against the defending MEL champions and possibly the league's most formidable team again this year. Vacaville's Haley Pascal gave the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead with her goal five minutes into the game. After Armijo responded with a goal, Vacaville's Kathryn Wibbeler scored on an assist by Kelly Irwin to give the Bulldogs a 2-1 lead. But the Indians scored two more goals in the first half to win the game.
