First Day of Round Robin Complete in Region I Championships

June 27, 2008

 

PORTLAND, Maine (June 27, 2008) – Games kicked off today at the US Youth Soccer Region I (East) Championships held at Bowdin College, Wainwright Recreational Soccer Complex and Falmouth High School in Portland, Maine. Storms rolled through delaying some games.

Bowdoin College only had a short 30 minute delay before play was able to resume, but storms at Falmouth High School and Wainwright Recreational Soccer Complex imposed a much greater delay. Games at Falmouth adjusted to the longer delay and were able to finish out later into the evening, but Wainwright games were cancelled and have been rescheduled for tomorrow. All games that were scheduled to be played on Wainwright Field No. 22 have been moved to South Portland High School. For the most current and up-to-date schedule, click here.

Reigning national and regional champions were in action, as were those aspiring for their first crowns at the US Youth Soccer Region I Championships being played through Tuesday, July 1.

 

As the returning US Youth Soccer Region I Champs, the Under-14 girls, FC Pennsylvania Strikers are back to defend their title with the added incentive of being able advance to the US Youth Soccer National Championships, since only the Under-14 through 19 division have that opportunity. In today’s game, the Strikers made it known that they were on a mission to defend what is theirs. They posted their first win of the weekend with a 6:0 victory over Jamestown YSA Fortuna Start (RI).

Stepping up to the Under-15 girls, another Eastern Pennsylvania team is back for vengeance. The Spirit United Gaels 92 (PA-E) lost out in the 2007 US Youth Soccer Region I Championship finals. Marking another win for Eastern Pennsylvania, the Spirit won 3:1 over Braddock Road Azul (VA).

Four-time US Youth Soccer Connecticut State Champions, CFC United Under-16 girls are another team back in action at the US Youth Soccer Region I Championships. However, their 2007 run at Regionals ended in the semifinals. In the opening day of play, CFC lost 0:1 in a hard-fought match up with Seacoast United (NH). Seacoast’s roster boasts 12 US Youth Soccer Olympic Development players (US Youth Soccer ODP) and one player who has already committed at the collegiate level.

Seacoast United is representing New Hampshire in 11 out of 18 age divisions this week. The Under-18 girls from Seacoast have held the title of US Youth Soccer New Hampshire State Champions since 2002, and today, they played the returning US Youth Soccer Region I Champions, PDA Power (NJ). It was close 3:2 game, but PDA walked away with the win.

 


For the past year, the Baltimore Casa Mia Bays 93 has known the sweet taste of being called the 2007 US Youth Soccer National Champions. They took their first step in defending that title today when they beat Maine Coastal United Moxie 9:0.
