FUTSOC Claims 2006 Score At The Shore Championship

The 2006 Score at the Shore - South premier youth soccer tournament, was won by the FUTSOC USA ENIGMA, with a 1-0 victory (in PK's) over the powerful national champion U-16 youth team from Canada - Oakville Blue Star.

After a very successful group play stage, in which we defeated Philadelphia Coppa 89 (4-0) from Pennsylvania, Weston Fury U-16 (2-1) from Florida, and Westchester 1990 (5-1) from New York, we advanced to the Red Flight (top level), and met nationally ranked Metro United of Illinois, which we defeated 2-1. In semi-final action, we were paired with another top 25 nationally ranked opponent from Illinois - Hinsdale United HUSA 89/90, whom we also defeated in a very exciting and fast paced match, by the score of 3(4)-3(2).

The tournament was characterized by exceptional play from the superb defense, strong, controlling play from the talented midfield, outstanding maneuvers and scoring at will from the fleet, accurate forwards,...and of course, brilliant play from our great goalkeeper (who not only shown bright during regulation time, but also stopped nine (9) penalty kicks in the various games where we went to PK's). This was a genuine team effort, and the performances propelled the team into the ranks of the more prominent teams in the country. Congratulations to all!!
