Fulton Soccerfest Champions, U16G

August 2002

DETERMINED, INTENSE, THE BEST WE CAN BE........ These were some of the team aspirations set forth by the Attack last spring. At Fulton, they showed what they had become.

Game 1 was a 3 -1 defeat to a talented team from Unionville, Ontario. In game 2, the Attack scored a 1 -0 victory over Westhill, but entered the Sunday elimination round seeded 5th. In the quarter-final on Sunday morning, they outplayed # 2 seed Fulton to advance to the semi-final against Newark. Newark tied the game at 1 -1 with less than a minute remaining. In the shootout, Amanda Phister stopped 4 out of 5 Pks, and the Attack advanced to the finals - a rematch against # 1 seed Unionville. Unionville had breezed through its preliminary matches and won a bye in the first round. In 95 degree heat, playing their 3rd match in 8 hours, every player gave her best. The result ... a 1 -0 victory and a well-earned championship.
