U12 Girls Red Win Academy Cup
Our U12 girls Red team were crowned champions at this year’s Academy Cup! The girls participated on the 11v11 Morgan division. After an irregular first game where the girls lost to NASA Miller 1-0, the team was able to recuperate, shake up the loss and their nerves, and start winning as usual. The nest two games were wins against InterAtlanta FC Wambach (1-0), and GA Rush Blue (4-0). These 2 wins allowed the girls to finished first on the bracket and move on to the finals. On their final match, the girls faced a familiar team when they had to play against NASA Miller again. But, this time around, the girls put together a great performance to defeat them 2-0, and lift the champion’s trophy.
