CSC 01 Girls Gold - Vulcan Cup Birmingham, Al - Finalists

Very proud of the girls starting out the spring season at an early tournament with a second place finish against some top ranked teams from the southeastern states. The teams we faced have been playing outdoors year round. We came out looking pretty well considering we only had two outdoor scrimmages and three outdoor training sessions before going down there. We won first game 2-0, tied second game 0-0, won third game 2-1, and lost final game 2-1. We only gave up one goal in the four games during the field of play. The other two goals we gave up in the final game came off of set pieces. Defensively we played well all weekend. Our keepers made lots of good saves throughout the weekend! We struggled at times to find the back of the net offensively but we got lots of shots off which gave us lots of opportunities to score. The Vulcan Cup is a top southeastern tournament and finishing second place is a great accomplishment for our team!

CSC 01 Girls Gold Preseason Friendlies in Cincy - March 4th

The girls faced CSA in the first match. Their team plays in the TPL division in ohio. I felt we were pretty evenly matched throughout the scrimmage. We ended up tied at 6-6.

The girls faced TFA Elite which plays in the top division of the buckeye league in our second match of the day. We played well on offense and defense. We controlled the ball well. We came out really strong in the second half and really took control of the game. We came out aggresive to the ball and put alot of pressure on them when they had possession of the ball. We won the game with a final score of 4-2.
