U15 SPARKS HOPE TO IGNITE AT NATIONALS!
(from USClub Soccer)...
FC Pittsburgh brought two teams to the Indianapolis Regional, and both squads will be returning to the Keystone State to prepare for the National Cup VIII Finals with championship trophies in hand.
The club's U-15 squad suffered a 1-0 loss to Minnesota Thunder Academy in a 9 a.m. game this morning, but results from the other teams in the age group resulted in a second showdown between the teams this afternoon. This time, however, FC Pittsburgh avenged its one-goal defeat with a 2-0 win, securing a spot in Virginia Beach, Va., later this summer.
Here is what Chet Gapczynsky, FC Pittsburgh's Girls' Director of Coaching, had to say about it:
"We knew we had the potential and the talent. We did face very good competition in both age groups. In both situations, the young ladies understood going in, different game plans from all the training and all the practice. And they applied them, and they were successful."
