Wildcats win their GU13 Flight at Irvine Winter Classic 2009

wildcats take the goldRancho Capistrano, CA – The Galaxy Wildcats prevailed in GU13 Flight 3 of the Irvine Winter Classic (January 10 – 11th, 2009), winning the Championship final against the Yucaipa Athletic SC in a tense overtime shoot-out.  It was a weekend of tough competition, good opponents and nail-biting finishes in uncharacteristically hot sun for a January tournament in Southern California.  But strong team play and a “never let up” attitude did the trick for the Wildcats.  The Wildcats drew first blood in their opening game against the Ventura County Fusion YSA Blue who then battled back to tie the score on a penalty kick.  The game was decided literally in the final seconds as forward Lauren “LK” Kljucec sailed a perfect direct kick over the head of the Fusion keeper as time expired.  The Wildcats scored first in their other preliminary games against the FC Murrieta and the Vista Storm Red, each of which presented their own challenges.  But in another nail-biter, the Championship Final against Yucaipa came down to a 1 – 1 tie at the end of regulation.  Wildcat keeper Michall Singleton blocked several strong kicks from Yucaipa players as “LK” was able to put her shot past the Yucaipa keeper to end the game with a win.  Goals were also scored in the tournament by Wildcat forwards Jenny Drew Garabedian, Alex Marmureanu and midfielder Meredith Wilkerson.  But it was truly a team effort with strong play by all the defenders, midfielders, forwards and keepers on the Wildcat team that won the tournament.  As coached by Angel Vasquez and Peter Meyer, the Wildcats have elevated their play to a consistent constant pressure offense and defense that will undoubtedly serve them well in the future.
