2nd Annual Girls Adidas College Showcase a Big Success
1/31/11
This past weekend, the 2nd annual Girls Adidas College Showcase took place on the campus of Shattuck-St. Mary’s in Faribault, MN.
Dane Family Field House was the host to sixteen U17 and U18 girls teams from across the Midwest. Along with the teams that participated, 57 colleges from every division were represented during the three day event (Div I – 19 / Div II 9 / Div III 26 / NAIA 3). A complete list of the schools that were in attendance is below.
The SSM girls teams fared well on the weekend, both going 2-0-1 and delivering some impressive individual performances that caught the attention of the coaches in attendance.
The U17 girls started off the weekend with a 1-1 drawagainst the Chicago Sockers. Coming back the next day, they controlled the game and beat the Madison 56ers 2-1. Finishing out the weekend, the girls battled in a 1-0 victory over Iowa Rush.
The U18 girls started strong with a 2-0, shutout victory over the Chicago Sockers on Friday. Saturday was a tough fought, 3-2 game that saw SSM come out on top over the Rockford Raptors. FC United handed the U18 girls their biggest challenge, playing them to a 0-0 draw on Sunday afternoon.
Throughout the weekend many positive comments and remarks were expressed by college coaches in attendance, the teams participating and the parents who travelled to Dane Family Field House. The site was given many praises by the college coaches who were able to watch game after game without moving to different fields. They were able to watch full games, with quick turnover between matches. When asked what he thought about the weekend, Director of Girls Soccer, David Linenberger commented that, “It was a great weekend for Shattuck-St. Mary’s girls soccer. We had coaches from almost 60 college programs represented and I was very pleased with the way our teams performed. From last year’s showcase to this year’s outcome, shows good progress.”
The weekend was a big success and the Shattuck-St. Mary’s coaching staff would like to thank all of the coaches that attended and teams that participated.
