Another Tournament win for the U18 Soo City United Girls. This is their 4th tournament to date, finishing as champions 3 times in Vaughn, St. Catherine's and East Qwillinbury and finalist in Oshawa. The girls have played 20 tournament games and currently hold a record of 19-1. I can't express enough how proud I am of the 2005 and 2006 girls. They started their training together for the first-time last November. The girls trained twice a week at the NCC and had a fitness session weekly with Rachel Cobean. They are truly a unique group not just because of their success, but more so how they have come together as a team. Their next tournament is The USA Cup in Minnesota July 14-16 and then The Ottawa Champions Showcase August 5-6. Special thanks to the coaching staff Carlo Spadafora, John Iachetta, Joe Carbone and Tricia Killoran. Also, thank you to all the parents who have been a great support for the girls!! - Steve Mazzuca, Head Coach
