Match Summary
Cuyama played well, but what I remember most from this game was the hostile environment. It was loud. The football team and their coach would start making noise as my girls served. I've never even heard of anything like this. To make matters worse, one of the coaches was signaling to the crowd to make noise.. My team couldn't even talk to each other. The officials didn't even try to hush the crowd. My girls were frightened and barely able to play. That is not right.
