Canyon PSA Champions!!

Taylor's team spent the weekend playing at Cal State Fullerton for the Canyon PSA Invitational.  Their first game was against Santa Clarita Valley Magic and it was a big 6-0 victory!  5 different girls scored which is great for their confidence.  In the afternoon, they faced MB Sand and Surf and won 2-1.  Taylor had a great score off a corner for Legends to take and hold the lead.  
With two wins, they advanced to Sunday's semifinal against Empire SC.  It was a hard fought 0-0 tie that went right into penalty kicks.  Jenna, Taylor and Jules scored on our 1st 3 penalty kicks and Linze blocked all 3 of the opponent's.  Although that should have been enough to win, the ref made us go through one more round of kicks.  Miranda missed hers, but Linze blocked another...giving us the 3-0 victory!
 Legends faced Inland Brasil in the championship.  They were a very fast and physical team and had won their previous games, 10-0 and 4-0!
Our girls battled hard in the heat and came away with a 2-1 victory and took home the trophy and championship medals!
The team has won 2 of 4 summer tournaments and look better with each game.  They will enjoy a fun week of camp and a nice weekend off before meeting in the Copa Del Mar tournament in two weeks...
