ROOKS HOST SACRAMENTO KNIGHTS
Chico Looks to Get Back on Track

The Chico Rooks will host their North Valley rivals, the Sacrameto Knights, this Saturday night.  In mid May the Rooks battled the Knights to a 2 – 2 draw in Chico. The following night the Rooks were winning 1 – 0 in Sacramento before two players were ejected on controversial calls.   The Rooks ended up losing the match 4 –1.  “We have a great rivalry withthe Knights,” aisd Rooks coach David Stahl, “our games are always hard fought and entertaining.”

Chico hopes to turn their fortunes around as they are 1 – 4 – 1 in their last six games.  “Unfortunately, we are a lot better team than our record indicates (5-6-5),” said Stahl, “we have never played to our potential this year.  There were a lot of games we should have won and didn’t, especially early in the season.”  Stahl went on to add that numerous injuries have plagued the team the last three weeks.

Kick off is scheduled for 7:30  at the soccer stadium on the Chico State campus.
