Placer United U13 Girls Gold Finalists at Stanford Memorial Day Tournament

Posted On June 4, 2010 by PUSC

The U13 Girls Gold team had an awesome showing at the first tournament of their season. The girls played up 1 age group in this tournament and by the way they played and performed you would have never been able to tell. Overcoming all of the obstacles that playing up represents, the girls were awesome matching their opponents in every facet of the game along the way.

The girls battled with Carson Valley to open the tournament and coming up just short 3-2 however, anyone watching that game would admit they deserved at least a tie.

In the next two games the girls maxed out points handling both Sagebrush 3-0 and Nevada Elite 7-0. The team finished group play with 22 points putting them into the final game.

In the final, the girls met a very tough Santa Rosa Blizzard team who are very solid in the U14 age group. The girls had an incredible showing in the final match—solid in every area of the game goalkeeping, defending and attacking. It truly was a beautiful team effort with every girl on the team contributing. The girls were unbelievably composed in the final coming up just a bit short 1-0 on a penalty kick.

Congratulations to an awesome group of girls and a great team!
