SPSL powered by adidas: Semifinals Recap

By

The weekend started off with Dinamo and Lagers playing for the 4th semifinals spot in the Premier Division. The teams faced off in a shortened match of two 25 minute halves. Lagers defeated Dinamo 3-1, thanks in part to this goal from Sean Akamine.

With a short rest between matches, Lagers took to the field once more to compete in the semifinals versus the Premier Division’s #1 seed, Three Lions. Heading into the playoffs Three Lions’ record was 8-2-0 compared to Lagers’ 4-5-0. Despite the numbers, Lagers proved themselves a strong competitor for the Lions squad, creating an upset with a 3-2 win to advance to the finals where they will face Deportivo Italia who overtook Seattle Americans 4-1.

The First Division saw some upsets of their own–most notably the ousting of Westside United. Westside United entered the playoffs with a 9-0-1 record and 29 point goal differential, but they would suffer their first defeat when it mattered most, falling to Seattle East 2-1 in the semifinals. Seattle East will battle Nomads for the title after Nomads advanced over Deportivo Italia – Series B with a 2-1 victory.

XTREME Cup Fundraising Winners Claim Their Prize

By

The Crossfire Select Boys U-13 squad had the experience of a lifetime last night at Starfire Sports. Steve Zakuani joined them for training, scrimmaged with the team, then spent some time enjoying pizza and conversation.

The team earned this special prize by coming together to raise money for Steve Zakuani’s Kingdom Hope organization as part of the 2012 Starfire XTREME Cup tournament. The boys exemplified the heart and soul of the event, proving you can make a difference through soccer both on and off the field. Each member of the team set a fundraising goal for themselves, came up with their own pitch, and then went to friends and neighbors–even knocking on strangers doors–to collect donations. In the end, the team was able to raise $834 for the cause.
