The girls U-10 team played in the Green Division at the Dublin Charity Cup this weekend and had a 1-2 record.  They started off the weekend with a 4-0 win over GFC Arsenal Blue.  Every team member gave 110% during this game, it was amazing!  The team lost game #2 against Classics FC Elite 4-7 and game #3 to Strongsville 2-8.  The weekend was tough but at the same time a great experience because we all learned what we need to work on as a B team.

The Girls U-9 team played up a bracket at the MOSSL tournament and left with a 2-1 record.  They started off the weekend with a 4-1 victory over GFC Arsenal Blue (a “B” team), but Saturday evening lost against OP White (also a “B” team) 7-6.  They finished the weekend with a 3-1 win over PASA, whose only regular season loss was from our team.  The girls had an awesome season with a 9-0-1 record in the regular season and 6-1-2 in tournament play (and in every tournament played up a bracket.)  Overall the team had 17 games without a loss and 13 consecutive wins.  In 19 games the team scored a total of 114 goals (44 off of assists), had 323 attempts and saved 266 goals.  These girls are really an amazing group of kids and deserve a big pat on the back!  We are excited to see what the fall season brings as the team bumps up to the U-10 age bracket and potentially the “B” division!  HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!!!!

The girls U-9 team finished their regular season game Tuesday at NCA Blast with another victory (5-0) and are now 9-0-1 in the regular season.  This victory was especially sweet for several reasons:  Back to back MOSSL Champions, back to back seasons without a loss in the regular season, and 16 straight games without a loss this season.  Coach Ritchie and Weekley want to send out a huge CONGRATULATIONS to the girls for another great season and to the parents for all of their support!  The team hopes to add to their winning season with the MOSSL tournament this weekend as they bump up to play B teams.  Good luck ladies!
