Infinity SC 96 Girls Premier Return From Vegas With Gold

The Infinity SC 96 Girls Premier team traveled to Las Vegas on the weekend of October 24-26 to play in the 2008 Mayor’s Cup International Tournament. Competing in the Silver Adidas bracket, the team went undefeated in four games to claim the championship trophy. Down a goal in the first game against Colorado United White, the girls struck back almost immediately, tying the game before halftime and pulling ahead to win 3-2. The next game, against Nevada FC Heat, was a 1-0 nail-biter; the semi-final against Illinois River Forest Rapids resulted in a more comfortable 3-0 finish. The Infinity team then met Colorado Storm in the championship game. Infinity scored in the first half, but Storm answered in the second: the game went to a penalty shootout with Infinity prevailing. Congratulations to the players and coaches on a job well done!
