U13 Girls are Finalist's in 2023 NSC Spring Cup
Another Great week-end for the our teams at the 2023 NSC Spring Cup. Our 2010, 2009 and 2007 Girls teams participated in this tournament in the highest level brackets and all 3 teams played some tremendous soccer against some of the biggest and best clubs in Minnesota. Our 2010 team finished as Runner-up in the Championship game. This was a great start to the outdoor Spring season. Go Raptors!
The first weekend of April, we had 4 of our teams escape the MN snow and compete in Emerald Cup down in Kansas City. We wanted to give a shout out to our 06 Girls Team, our 07 Girls Team, and our combined 09/10 Team for a great weekend of competition and a fun start to your outdoor seasons. Can't wait to see you compete this Summer!
U13 & U14 Girls Teams as NSC Fall Cup Champions 2022
Congrats to both our U13 and U14 girls teams for bringing home the Championship in their respective divisions in the NSC Fall Cup in Blaine on Sept 17 & 18. Both teams won every game in the tournament and did not allow any goals. Tremendous effort by all players.
ERSC 07 Girls Elite at US Club Soccer Midwest Regionals
We finished the preliminary round with a 1-0-2 record scoring 5 Goals and giving up 2 and tied with St. Louis Scott Gallagher ECNL at 5 pts each. Unfortunately, we lost out to a tie breaker scenario by 1 point to them, so they moved on into the Semi-Finals. Tough way to lose when you don't play each other. We went into this tournament with just 12 players due to injuries and other conflicts, but that did not deter our team from competing against some of the top teams in the Region. Well done Girls...
