Plano Quarterfinalist



Congrats to LAFC 00 White. The girls played a really tough tournament against some of the best teams in Dallas. They managed to make it to the Quarterfinal playoffs!!

The 1st game against Andromeda 2000 (Plano) was a great start. The girls scored in the first minute of the game and went on to win 5-0.

The 2nd game against Azteca (Kansas) looked like we were going to take a huge win. The girls scored 2pts in the first 4 minutes. Then after a score from our oppenents, it changed the momentum of the game (along with the high humidity from a mid-afternoon game in Dallas). The girls fought hard but were left leaving a 3-5 loss.

The 3rd game was set to be a good one. Dallas Juventus was undefeated and needed to beat us to advance. All we had to do was get a win to secure a place in the playoffs or get a tie and see if we could get in on a wildcard spot. After a fierce battle and missed shots at goal, the girls walked off with a tie and had to check updates from GotSoccer to see if we would advance on a wildcard. With a little luck and lots of help from above, the scores came in (along with the email) notifying us of our next game in the Quarterfinals!

The quarterfinal game was against a top seed in the whole tournament, the Mustangs FC. They were undefeated and ready to battle. After a slow start by our girls, it looked like there was no chance . Then, after a few adjustments, we were able to hold at halftime with a score of 0-2. The second half was a different story, we were able to stay on their end the whole half but only able to score 1 goal, thus leaving with a loss of 1-2.

The Mustangs went on to win the Semifinals and the Championship!!
