'97 Premier Girls Remain Undefeated at Pioneer Cup

Once again, Infinity SC 97 Premier Girls has effectively united talent and effort. They are blazing a trail of glory. With coach Robson Chaves' superb training and the girl's hard work and execution, Infinity '97 earned a second championship trophy at the LaRoca Pioneer Cup Tournament. It was not an easy feat to get there. Out of 4 games, Infinity SC 97 Premier Girls only scored 9 goals. Despite a tough defense, the opponents managed 5 goals during the tournament. However, with the entire team striving for excellence and enduring the torturous heat, they achieved two wins and a tie. This earned Infinity SC 97 Premier Girls a place in the championship game as the top team.

Infinity started the tournament with a match against one of the State's top teams, Avalanche 97 Premier. It was a tight game and ended in a tie, 2-2. Goals were scored by Kanyan Ward and Hailey Oldham. Next they faced off against tournament sponsors, LaRoca 97 Premier. Infinity pulled ahead and won, 2-1 thanks to Becca G's sweet goals. The third game was against well known Sparta 97 Premier. The game ended with a 3-2 win. Kanyan Ward and Anna Davidson had goals, then an assist from Kilee Lamb to Madie Sidoway clenched the win.

Avalanche 97 worked hard to also earn a spot in the championship playoff. They were eager to have a re-match with Infinity SC 97 Premier Girls. At halftime the game was still scoreless. After a pep talk, refueling with fluids and cooling off with cold rags, Infinity came out fighting. Everyone worked together and took several shots. Anna Davidson and Madie Sidoway each made one count and helped Infinity SC 97 Premier Girls claim their victory.

Viridiana Gomez was in the goal box. She had some great saves and probably has bruises and grass stains to prove it. Lexi Sims, Katelyn Whipple, and Kilee Lamb also ended up spending time on the ground while defending. At times parents wondered if they were watching soccer or football. :) The entire Infinity offense ran some awesome plays and had some great connections. Their joint efforts helped earn goals to make their 9-0-1 tournament record and bring home the trophy.

All 16 girls played their part in making the tournament another successful experience. Coach Robson is proud of each of them and their accomplishment. Each is an important part of the team and together they can accomplish great things!

Infinity SC 97 Premier Girls will put their skills to the test once again. This time it will be at the Sparta Nike Cup, August 6th-9th.
