GU11 State Cup



Last Sunday, our GU11 team had two games in Lancaster to kick off bracket play for State Cup.
 Allison spent all but 10 minutes in goal and did a great job for her team, although we faced some tough competition.
We lost 2-0 in the first game against Strikers FC and lost 2-1 that afternoon against CVU Blue.  

 Reanna battling hard!

Even with two losses, we advanced to the Round of 64 because of our bracket draw.  So it was back to miserable Lancaster today for a 9:00am game against Arsenal (a team that won all three games last weekend 6-0, 5-0 and 4-0).  Unfortunately, Charlie couldn't join us because the olders advanced to Escondido and he went with them.
It was an uphill battle from the start!  The wind was howling like I've never seen and Arsenal scored in the first minute.  We played most of the game in our defensive half of the field and struggled just to keep the score down.  We lost 4-0, but our girls never quit and battled the conditions.


We are sad to see the season come to an end, but we just finished tryouts and are excited for what the new season will bring!!
