It was a great weekend for the U12 FORCE GIRLS. The team clinched first place in their group and a spot in the second round of Regional play. Saturday the girls opened with a very hard fought game against a familiar foe, Space Coast United. Final score was 0-0.
The team’s second game on Saturday was played vs. Jacksonville, who was a Finale Four team last season. The scoring opened on a great goal by birthday girl Sophia Carroll. The girls never looked back with scores by Maleia Storum, Stephanie Arrington and Andrea Templar. Force win 4-0.
Sunday the pressure was on, with a "win your in, lose your out" scenario. Their opponent was another '08 final four team in FSA Warhawks. Stephanie Arrington was on fire and was unstoppable scoring 2 goals. With another goal from just inside the 1/2 line by Rachel Jenkins, and a fine finish by Sophia Carroll, the Warhawks were done!!!! Final score 4-1.
Great job by the whole team finishing with a 2-0-1 record and only giving up 1 goal the whole weekend!!!!
Coach Lew Storum said after “The leader of this team is truly this team!!!! I am very proud of the girls". The celebration won't last long as it's back to long practices and hard work to prepare for the next round played 2/28 & 3/1 in Vero Beach.
