Friday, December 27, 2024

The older Girls Academy squads returned to action following their high school campaigns with a trip to the Winter Showcase and Champions Cup competition in NorCal with another successful outing despite limited training time together.

The senior 06/07 group put forth arguably the best outing of the four squads with a 1-1-1 record that was good for second in their group. They finished with a 4-3 aggregate score in their favor, kicking things off with a 2-2 draw against TopHat. They then dropped a narrow 0-1 result against Sockers FC before finishing off with a bang 2-0 against New Mexico SA.

The 09s finished with a matching 1-1-1 record only to finish third in the group. They had a 3-4 aggregate tally with two shutouts on the ledger, starting with a 2-0 win against Springfield SYC. The middle contest was a disappointing 1-4 loss to SC Wave but they rebounded with a scoreless stalemate against Wasatch SC.

The 08s offense was on point with at least two goals in every game as they went 1-2-0 in their group, finishing third with a 7-7 aggregate tally. They opened with a narrow 2-3 loss to Central Illinois United and dropped the second 2-4 to Pinecrest Premier before finishing on a high note 3-0 against Seacoast United.

Playing in the Champions Cup as a replacement side, the 2010s had a decent outing as well on limited preparation. They finished on a positive note with a 1-1 draw against Michigan Jaguars after dropping the first two 2-4 and 0-3 to City SC and Keystone, finishing 0-2-1.
