The MYSC U14 girls BLUE team had a very successful run at STATE CUP over the past few weeks. In the round robin portion of the Cup the girls outscored their three opponents 21-0 and had accumulated ALL sportsmanship points. In the Semi-final game, Appleton Fusion and MYSC met on Appleton’s home field. After a rain/storm delay mid-game, the MYSC girls proceeded to play some good soccer to win the game 3-0. On June 3, the much anticipated finals game between MYSC and FC Milwaukee started late due to heavy rain and storms. It was a hard fought game and a great game to watch on a very rainy, wet day. FC Milwaukee attempt at a score in the first half resulted in the goal being called off because the ball was hand-punched into the goal. Eventually FC Milwaukee scored with a long, high kick just out of the reach of the MYSC goalie. MYSC players never faltered and kept the pace of the game moving at a fast pace even in the rain and on a soggy field. Late in the 2nd half of regulation time, MYSC left footed a corner kick and was headed into the net for a goal. Score 1-1 was how regulation time ended. After 20 minutes of overtime with both teams’ defense tested over and over the score was still tied 1-1 and went to “kicks from the mark”. MYSC won 4-1 in penalty kicks. MYSC U14 girls, coaches, and parents all were excited at the outcome and proud of the girls’ accomplishment that was set as a goal for them in July 2006.
