Galaxy United GU15 win Islands Classic
GALAXY UNITED GU15 played in Camarillo at the Island Classic Tournament the last weekend of July.
This was the Galaxy United GU15’s first preseason tournament as part of their preparation games before the start of their season.
The UNITED GIRLS played in the Burgundy Bracket against Silver & Silver Elite teams. Their 1st WIN was against a tough LA Rampage team 3-1 and in their 2nd game against a physical and also tough South Valley United Black team the girls took a tie 0-0.
The UNITED GIRLS put themselves into the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME against a tough Ventura FC Reds team. The girls were down in the first 5 minutes of the game 2-0 before turning the game around. With strong mental and physical play, and determination the girls came back strong in the last 5 minutes of the first half to put 1 in. In the second half again the girls came back strong and dominated the rest of the game and ended in a 2-2 tie. After again dominating the over time period, the game would be decided in penalty kicks.
The girls wound up scoring their first 3 goals and then finally on their fifth goal, WON the Real California FC Burgundy bracket in the Island Classic Tournament.
It was a very balanced scoring with five different girls scoring during the tournament - and also different ones taking and scoring on the PK’s as well as great strong performances from our backline and specially our goalkeeper during PK’s!
Both Peter & Angel were thrilled by their determination and never giving up attitude as well as enduring some very physical play by our opponents and also some very warm weather.
The GU15 GALAXY UNITED team is pleased to have started their season so well and looks forward to a great season with their new GALAXY CLUB!
