Prognosis: “Obviously, our goals are set high to make it into the upper league and maybe CCS, but it's going to be a tough season and we're going to have to work hard for it,” Kobara said.

This season, the team is aiming to finish in the top two of the league, which will let them make CCS and move up to the higher league, according to Yu. With the loss of six  seniors from last year, the team faces a tough road, especially against close rivals Lynbrook and Los Gatos.

“I'm unsure about how we will do this year because both of our senior center backs and our center mids graduated last year,” Yu said. “If we are able to find replacements for these missing roles, I think we will be good this year because we have enough scorers.”

With most of the key players returning, the team will look to these experienced players to fuel the team’s success. But with several new additions, they’re trying to figure out their lineup based on how everyone plays together, Yu said.

As the team adjust to the new season, players will continue their tradition of dinners every few weeks to create bonds even off the field.  

“It's just a great way to bond with my teammates and it's really fun to get to know each of them,” Yu said. “I developed friendships with them that I never thought I would have.”
