The
Temecula United U16 Girls just completed a “3 Tournament Journey” that Coaches, Parents, Family, Friends and Players will never forget. The United Ladies ended their Tournament season in spectacular fashion. Not only by winning 3 Tournaments consecutively, but continuing their streak of staying undefeated in all three tournaments, AND not allowing a single goal in all three tournaments.
In order to win their third tournament in a row the Ladies would need to be successful twice against the tournament favorite Los Gauchos. The Los Gauchos had completed their league season undefeated and allowed only four goals while scoring 63 times in 14 games.
The first match against the Los Gauchos was in bracket play and ended without a goal being scored by either team. When bracket play was complete by all the teams the United Ladies found themselves in the final vs. the Los Gauchos. The final match had no goals scored by either team at the conclusion of regulation time and required PK’s to determine a champion.
The first phase, best of the 5 PK’s and again tied! Then we went to sudden death PK’s. The Gauchos missed their PK and Laing our Co-Captain converted her PK for the match winning goal! Game over! Championship won! The Los Gauchos team was truly a worthy opponent and for everyone watching, it was an exciting on edge of your seat match!
The United Ladies live their “Expect2Win” motto.
Yes our Girls win games but more importantly they win hearts with their hearts. Thank you Ladies, from Coach Mike, Coach Manny and Coach Glen.
