Good Weekend for Girls Program

9/19/11…It was a good weekend for the Shattuck-St. Mary’s Girls Soccer Program, as both the U17 and U18 squads had good results. The U17 team went 3-1 on the weekend, losing in the semi-finals of the Just For Girls Fall Invitational, and the U18 team went 2-1, playing three MRL games.

The U17 team traveled to Des Moines, Iowa on Friday to play in the Just For Girls Fall Invitational. They started off the weekend with two victories on Saturday, winning 2-0 against KCFC Fusion and 1-0 against KCFC Fury. They came back the next day with a 2-1 win against Ames Soccer Club, which placed them in the semi-finals of the tournament. With their fourth game in less than 48 hours, tired legs began to set in during the semi-final game and the U17 girls lost 4-1 against Wichita Storm.

In Muscatine, Iowa, the U18 team took on three different MRL opponents. The U18 team faced their toughest opponent first in Grand Rapids Crew on Saturday morning, where they lost 3-0. They bounced back that afternoon, in a come from behind 2-1 victory against Michigan Rush. They capped off their weekend on Sunday morning with a convincing 7-0 win against the Michigan Hawks.
