SENIOR SENDOFF: GABRIEL “GABE” OJEDA

Gabe’s soccer journey began as soon as he could walk, playing with his dad. He joined AYSO for a season at age five before joining Peninsula. Next year he’ll head to College of San Mateo

Favorite Soccer Memory: My favorite soccer memory is how my teammates and I stuck together and lifted each other up, especially when our games got tough.

Words of Wisdom: Play with heart, train with purpose, and respect the game. Talent may open the door, but character keeps you on the field.

SENIOR SEND OFF- Marcus Finke

Marcus started playing soccer at 3 years old and joined Peninsula his Junior year after stints with Gryphons, Burlingame, and Force. Despite being part of the Peninsula Soccer Club for only a little over a year, he knew many of the players on his team from prior playing, and he also has developed a really good rapport with Coach Nick and all the  players on his team

His favorite soccer memory is scoring the winning goal for his high school (Aragon) team in his sophomore year against their rival Carlmont at the last league game of the season. Marcus also has many fond memories of soccer playdates in Manteca, staying in the same hotel with his teammates, and hanging at the hotel pool.

Marcus will be heading to UCLA this fall. We wish him the absolutely best. Go Bruins!

SENIOR SENDOFF - Honoring Senior Sou Matsumoto

Sou is headed to Virginia Tech in the Fall to study General Engineering. He started his playing career in elementary school with the Japan Youth Soccer organization where he now coaches. He joined Peninsula in the third grade and has had many amazing memories with our Peninsula family.

Sou’s favorite memory:
Winning the Labor Day Cup during the 2021-2022 season

Sou’s words of wisdom to younger players in our club:
“The seasons you play with your friends are short, so have fun. The number of practices and games you have is less than you think, so it’s best to enjoy it while you can.”

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT- PAIGE FLORO - 07G Strikers Blue

Paige has been with Peninsula since she was 7 years old, and next year she will go on to study marine biology and play soccer at Cañada College.

Paige started playing soccer for AYSO when she was 4 years old. She joined Peninsula at age 7 and has been with our club ever since.

Her favorite soccer memory was winning the San Jose Rush Cup with her team.

One piece of advice she would give future Peninsula players is to not let one coach or situation ruin your soccer experience. Enjoy your friends and the game!
