Placer United Girls Teams Excel at AJAX Fall Invitational in Modesto

Posted On October 1, 2012 by PUSC

Five Placer United teams travelled down to Modesto this past weekend to participate in the AJAX United Fall Invitational.

Three of five Placer United teams made it all the way to the final and we have not one, but TWO Champions.

The U13 White won the championship yesterday afternoon.  They started off the tournament with a 0-2 loss to West Coast Wildfire but then went on a 3-game streak to claim the title.  They beat Argentina FSC 3-0 and then beat the host AJAX Elite 1-0 on penalty kicks.  In the final, the girls defeated Novato United 2-0.

The U15 White won the championship as well, winning all four of their games.  They defeated North Bay Elite 2-0, Bullard United 2-0 and Manteca 5-1.  In the final, they battled the Cal Blues to a 2-2 draw and then won the title in penalty kicks.

The U12 White made it all the way to the final after three consecutive wins.  They beat East Bay United 4-0, West Coast Wrath 4-2 and AJAX Elite 2-0.  In the final, the girls were upended by a talented Cal Odyssey squad, 5-1.

The U14 White had a great weekend with one win, one loss and one draw.  They drew with the Turlock Tornados 2-2, beat FC Sporting 4-0 and lost 0-2 to Barcelona.

The U10 White also had a great weekend with one win and two narrow defeats.  They lost the opener to Barcelona 1-0, rebounded with a 5-1 win over Central California Soccer Alliance and lost a nail-biter 3-2 to the Turlock Hurricanes.

Congratulations to all of our teams on a great weekend!
