MLSNext Northern California Week 11 Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The last docket of games before MLSFest takes place and there were some surprising results. Ballistic United gets a shout out for getting some positive results against the San Jose Earthquakes which you love to see. Here are some performances that turned heads in Week 11. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bilal Cotter-Norwood- The tall, lanky, lefty, athletic De Anza Force winger is a matchup nightmare against most outside backs and he showed his class against SF Glens scoring a good goal on Saturday. He had a productive performance against Sac Republic on Sunday with his pressing and creating a handful of chances. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brayden Laidlaw- In the most surprising result of the weekend Ballistic United tied the San Jose Earthquakes 2-2 in the 2010 age group where the Quakes have been dominant this season. Laidlaw was the biggest standout for his Ballistic team putting in a commanding performance at Center Back. He matched the athleticism of the Quakes center forwards, he was dominant in the air, made a ton of clearances, blocked a lot of shots and really resolved a ton of problems that the Quakes posed offensively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='146760' first='Christian' last='Trelles']- This 2009 SF Glens team is the real deal. Trelles had an amazing weekend tallying 1 goal and 3 assists in two games against De Anza Force and Diablo Valley Wolves. His SF Glens team are now in the top group at MLSFest and have a chance to qualify for GA Cup which would be an incredible accomplishment for a non-MLS club.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ryan Corcoran- Corcoran had an awesome weekend helping his team secure a monster 3-1 win against the evil empire San Jose Earthquakes, he scored a goal and got an assist. He then followed that up with another goal in a 2-2 tie against the Santa Cruz Breakers the next day. Quite the weekend for the Ballistic playmaker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='275156' first='Kai' last='Nagashima']- Bay Area Surf's U16's are still undefeated this season, Nagashima has a lot to do with that feat. He has been consistent leading the line for this team all season. He scored the first goal and Real Salt Lake in a 2-2 draw. He's a speed merchant and direct with his dribbling. Many eyes will be on him at MLSFest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
