During the entire State Cup Competition, the girls' teams competed in a total of 36 games, accumulating 30
wins, 1 tie and 5 losses. This overall record speaks for itself. This
provides the facts of our overall strength of all of our girls' teams. Girls Champions: U10, U13, U17
Our boys teams played total of 39 games, accumulating 25 wins,3 tie and 11 losses. As a Internationals club we played 75 games, won 55, tied 4 and lost 16. No other single club even comes close. We will
compete at Regionals with total of 5 teams - by far most then any
other club in Ohio North.

- USYSA Region II Championships: The 2007 US Youth Soccer Region II Championships will be held
June 22-27 in Des Moines, IA at the Cownie Soccer Park and the Hidden Valley Soccer Complex. Our U13, U16, and U17 teams advanced to Regionals and represented our club and state with class and style.
The U13s advanced to the Finals but lost a heart-breaker in PKs. This team has a lot to be proud of as they proved to be one of the top 8 teams in the nation! Over all on the girls side we finished with 8 wins and 3 losses while accumulating 25 goals for and only allowing 9 goals against. This is by far superior to anyone else in Ohio North.

- MRL, State League, & GAASA league play

- Our U10-U13 dominated the spring State League competition. We finished FIRST with the U11 and U12 teams, tied for first in the U11 division and finished 2nd in the U13 bracket.
- MRL provided another season of great regional competition. Our U14s finished fourth overall, the U16s finished fifth and the U15s and U17s did not make it into the top 5, but competed well against some of the best in the region.
- On the recruiting trail.... Katie True has made a verbal commitment to play college soccer at Eastern Michigan. She is only a U16 player but is a Junior in high school and is our first U16 player to make a verbal so far. Our u17s are almost all set with their schools of choice. See past news letters for a list of commitments.
