Marion Rochester Youth Soccer (MRYS) Girls U-12 Warriors travelled to Barnstable to play in the 2015 Harvest Cup Columbus Day Soccer Tournament. This exceptional group of girls finished second overall after an outstanding weekend of soccer! It was the team’s first tournament play, and the girls came home rewarded with a finalist trophy.
On Saturday, the team finished first with nine points following a round robin play format. They won all three games played: 1-0 vs. MAPLE team Commonwealth FC from Braintree; 3-0 vs. RI Club team Lusitana; and 1-0 vs. Southcoast Soccer League team Barnstable! Four goals were scored by Jen Williams and one by Catie Parks, advancing them to tournament play on Sunday.
The final game on Sunday was a tough re-match vs. Commonwealth FC and the girls fought hard but came up short losing 1-0. Great sportsmanship was played by both teams. Three shutouts were accomplished by the goal-keeping tandem of Mickenna Soucy and Claudie Bellanger!!
