SC Del Sol President's Day Tournament. Game 1. FCU 0 - Sparta United 0
A good effort to begin the outdoor season against the 3rd ranked team from Utah. A late goal by FCU was called back due to offsides.

SC Del Sol President's Day Tournament. Game 2. FCU 0 - Mesa SCU 2
A chilly night in the desert. The cold air did not help heat up the girls' scoring chances and they gave up 1 goal in each half to fall 0-2. We're still not eliminated from the medal round, but need to win tomorrow. The lighting was not great for pictures, but I'm posting a few.

Mother's D … I mean ... Another State Cup Game
FCU 0 - NSA Fireballs 2
Their State Cup run was short lived as the girls could not overcome a tough opponent and two missing starters. No offense, but I took way too many pictures of Skyllar with the ball today. :-(
