Avengers GU9 return to winning form and claim their first championship in 2010 by winning the Pegasus Cup Tournament in the GU9B Gold Division!
The Avengers played a very competitive Carlsbad Lightning team in the finals winning 2-1 in overtime. Lightning got on the board first with a goal off a corner kick. The Avengers came roaring back and tied the score 1-1 at the end of the first half. The score remained 1-1 as the final whistle blew. Avengers scored early in overtime and held on for the win.
It was "deja vu" as last year's Avengers GU8 (formerly named Legacy) had to overcome a pool play loss in the Presidio Cup to Carlsbad but fought back to win in the championship game.
The GU9 Avengers look forward to a full summer tournament schedule before playing in the Presidio League GU9 Blue Division.
