GRAJEDA HEADS TO NORWAY

Oxnard's Megan Grajeda is the lone Ventura County girl playing for the Santa Barbara United Club featuring 12- to 14-year-old players. The United players will leave Sunday to play in the Norway Cup. Coaches Edward Bonn and Eric Graf took the club girls' team to Norway last summer. The trip was inspired by Une Solheim, an AYSO player in Santa Barbara. Solheim's family came from Norway so her mother could do post-doctoral work at UCSB. Une's parents, Britt Svoen and Age Solheim, helped the club plan last year's trip. The girls will spend a week in Une's hometown of Lillehammer. Last year's club team reached the quarterfinals and was of only two American teams out of a total of 1,500 teams. Last summer, the Santa Barbara girls scrimmaged against a Vietnamese team to wrap up their trip. The United team also played against teams from China and Kenya. Bonn said this time the Santa Barbara team is the lone American squad. Bonn said his team will play games against teams from Palestine, Kenya and Uganda. Besides Grajeda, the other players are Gabrielle Goss, Tiana Bonn, Katarina Rocha, Hannah Ball, Jordan Corry, Solhem, Michelle Goss, Erin Graf, Caroline Vance, Sydney Reed, Aadaeia Hill, Natalee Yamasaki and Amber Holland. Grajeda, 13, is an eighth-grader at Cabrillo Middle School in Ventura. Information: http://www.sb-united.com.
