Weston FC U9G - Lawson

Our team won the U9 Girls Classic Championship at the 7th Annual Weston Cup Soccer Tournament yesterday. Not only did the U9 girls play great every game, but also there were only six of them. In addition, one of the players was injured during the tournament and was not able to run, having to play goalie for the first time. During the championship game, we played against the Ft. Lauderdale Select, an undefeated team with zero goals against. We won 3-1, winning the championship.
