≡ U13 Girls Team SMFC in US Futsal National Tournament
Congratulations to the U13 SMFC team for participating in the US Futsal National Tournament. SMFC finishing 1 win, 1 loss, and 1 tie had a great tournament being placed in the group of death having the three best teams in the age group in group A. Starting out with Pirate Quest (Baltimore Bays) outdoor soccer state and regional champions was a tough task from the start. SMFC strikes 1st early into the game which looked like they were in well in control of the game, dominating the possession time having numerous opportunity’s but not being able to capitalize would later hurt them. With a couple minutes left in the 1st half the Pirates scored on a miscommunication by the defense. The second half started with both teams having opportunity’s to score which neither team could take advantage. After 10 minutes into the second half SMFC once again started to take over the game having various scoring chances even hitting the crossbar and post 3 times it was apparent that SMFC was not going to score on this day. Unfortunately for SMFC this would come back later in the tournament to hurt after losing to Smithfield this put SMFC in a situation where they would have to win there last game by 7 goals and have there destiny lay in the hands of another team winning by certain amount of goals. SMFC was up for the challenge the team had played a great tournament and knew that it was not over yet. Heading into the game the Smithfield had beaten Far Post team 5 to 3 and Pirates defeated Far Post 6 to 1. This game was not going to be an easy task especially because they had to win by 7 goals no other team had done this. SMFC started the game again dominating the game scoring 3 early goals then they hit a scoring wall. It had seemed like SMFC was not going to be able to get the 7 goal win after Far Post scored twice making it 3 to 2 with 12 minutes left in the 1st half. After a much needed time-out the team regrouped and scored 6 unanswered goals. This was quite a accomplishment for the SMFC Wolverines after playing a great tournament came up a little short, Wolverines can walk away with there heads high knowing they have much to be proud of.
