Monticello Soccer Club - River Eagles

The U15 girls scored six goals and only gave up one this past weekend, as they earned a trip to the Minnesota State soccer tournament.  Saturday, July 19, the River Eagles faced St. Louis Park in the first round of the district playoffs.  The girls dominated the game, winning 3-1.  Kasey, Hillary, and Sam all scored.  On Sunday the girls faced Plymouth and came out on top with a shut out, winning 3-0.  Olivia scored her first goal of the season, Kasey scored a penalty shot, and Ingrid also sent a winner to the net.  With that win, the girls secured a number two seed in the state tournament, which takes place this upcoming weekend.  The girls have had an awesome season, ending up 13-3-2, including tournament play.  They have scored 41 goals this year, and only given up 16.  Good luck to the team this weekend as they hope to continue their success at state!!  They will face some of the best U15 C2 teams in Minnesota, but Coach Lewis is confident they will continue to play well.

Congratulations to the girls for winning the Border Battle this past weekend!  The girls went 4-0, winning the final game in a shootout.  They also only gave up two goals the entire tournament.  Alysa Sutton made some incredible saves throughout the weekend, including an impressive one in the championship shootout.

Way to go girls!

The Monticello U15 girls opened up their Summer 2008 playing season by taking 2nd place in the Blaine Breakout tournament May 4th, 2008.  They came away with two great wins against Forest Lake and Valley United, and a tie with Tonka on a suspicious penalty shot that Alysa nearly saved.

Kasey scored a goal in each game of the tournament, and the rest of the offense controlled the possession of the game well throughout.  The defense was also very strong, giving up only three goals the entire tournament.  Overall, the girls had a great showing and played really well, indicating a promising season to come!
