Congratulations U10
Solar Girls!!
The girls were finalists in the "U10 Gold" division at the Texas United Easter
Tournament played at Bear Creek Park. They advanced to the finals undefeated
and continued this streak by dominating possession and shots on goal in the
finals. They lead 1-0 right down to the last few minutes of the game when their
opponent broke through and scored. The girls went directly into a shootout and
lost a heart breaker 5-4. Remaining unbeaten through the end of 4 games with the
amount of physicality that was placed on them was bitter sweet and rewarding,
we are ALL very proud of their hard work and determination!

Rush team was able to find the back of the net in the 20th minute of the first
half. Our boys kept their composure and continued to play solid and physical
futbol and were able to score a goal to equalize the game in the 25nd minute of
the 2nd half. The game finished in regulation time as a draw and went straight
to a penalty shootout. Our 98 Black team lost in the shootout, but won on the

After
completing 4 games with 4 shutouts, the toll of the weekend eventually took its
course, with '99 Eclipse White losing in the championship match. Eclipse
began their weekend with a 2-0 win over '00 Space City, tallying a goal in each
half. In their second game, Missouri City Blades also fell to Eclipse White 1-0,
in a really fun & fast paced game to watch. Both games #3 & #4 (semi's), were
1-0 wins as well, taking down Challenge Dynamite '99 & Challenge '99/'00 combo
in the semi finals, with a last minute goal!

game of the day. After a 0-0 halftime score, Challenge broke Eclipse's shutout
run, off a corner kick early in the second half. After a hard fought battle, a
late second half goal secured the game for Challenge.
The girls
should be proud of their efforts over the weekend, & look forward to an exciting
& rewarding spring season! '99 Eclipse White is managed by Charles Beall &
trained by Jennie Altherr.
