Despite a long three days of soccer, the CV Manchester girls were determined to bring home the gold. With Coach “Sean” Bullock guiding the way, the girls went on to lead an impressive undefeated victory having scored a whopping 16 goals with only 1 goal scored against them the entire tournament.
Playing in the silver bracket, the CV Manchester girls faced competition from Encinitas Express, Carlsbad Lightning, and Scripps Ranch United.
On day one, CV Manchester beat Carlsbad Lightning 3-0. Later in the day, they grabbed a second victory by defeating Encinitas Express 2-0. On Sunday, they defeated Scripps Ranch United with a 9-1 win taking them into Monday’s Championship round where they were victorious over Encinitas Express with a 2-0 win.
The continuous offensive attack from CV Manchester brought goals from various players. Leading scorers were Bella Bullock, Gaby Maas and Haley Cano. Alex Calegari and Cecilia DeFrancesco also put points on the board. Equally strong was sweeper Emma Hansen and center-mid Emma Casey. Special recognition goes to Ashley Christensen for great goalkeeping especially during the championship round where she had some extraordinary “world-cup” like saves.
Formerly the Poway Vaqueros, nine players along with Coach Bullock moved over to CV Manchester in February 2010. After adding several impact players including two strikers and a goalie, the second CV Manchester GU12 team was formed.
When asked about winning the tournament, Coach Bullock says, “It meant a lot to us since we suffered a winless season last year. We also took a leap of faith by moving clubs which ended up being a positive decision since Manchester Soccer Club has been extremely supportive of us. I am very proud of the parents and players for their dedication to our team and am elated to have finally received results long overdue. I have very high hopes for my girls this coming season.”
Congratulations girls!
