U14-U18 Final Pairings at RIII Tourney
June 20, 2012
The Under-14 through Under-18 age finals are set with 20 teams playing their way into the final matches for the US Youth Soccer Region III Championships. Florida Rush Nike (FL) is the lone defending US Youth Soccer Region III Champion team who has the opportunity to win back-to-back titles Thursday. They will face a rematch of last year’s final game as they face off with TSCH 94 Earle (OK) on Thursday.
Highlights from today’s games:
In the U-14 Girls group, semifinal day marked the end of the journey at regionals for Ponte Vedra Storm (FL), as they lost to TNFC 98 Azurri (TN). Callie McKinney and Karlie Paschall gave Tennessee a 2-0 halftime lead, and a double by Meredith Slessman secure their spot in the finals.
In a hard fought game, Liverpool 98 Elite (TX-N) eeked out a 1-0 win over Blitz United 98 Attack (OK). Rachel Palet scored the lone goal on the day in the 45th minute to send her team to the championship game.
In the U-15 Girls group, Louisiana Fire Blue (LA) took an early lead over US Youth Soccer National League team AHFC 97 (TX-S) with an Alexandra Thomas goal, her eighth of the tournament. That lead held until the waning minutes of regulation, as AHFC’s Christiana Sullivan leveled the score in the 77th. AHFC would strike in the overtime period with Junique Rodriguez netting her third goal on the week to claim the 2-1 victory and a spot in the finals.
Their finals day opponent will be Sting 97 (TX-N) who also advanced with a 2-1 victory over 97 FC Alliance Black (TN). Karina Boyea nodded home a corner to give Sting a 1-0 lead. Delaney Griffin equalized for FC Alliance in the 54th minute, her third goal in the tournament. Cassandra Conarty would answer for Sting just five minutes later and send her team to the title game.
In U-17 Boys action, Solar Chelsea (TX-N) had to bounce back from a 1-0 deficit against AHFC 95 (TX-S). After committing an own goal to fall behind, Solar leveled off a Casey Eaton goal in the 73rd minute. DeShawon Nembhard would prove the hero as he found the net in the 90thminute to send Solar to the finals.
Solar will face Jacksonville United (FL), who beat Steamers 95 Black (AL) in today’s semifinal. After failing to score through 90 minutes, Jacksonville broke the stalemate with two goals in overtime. Adam Demetree struck in the 105th and Riley Perrin doubled the lead just a minute later for a 2-0 victory.
