Fusion U11 Girls Maroon State Cup Finalists

The Fusion U11 Girls Maroon team were finalists in this past weekend's Norcal State Cup tournament. Fusion clinched their spot in Sunday's championship game after a hard fought battle in Saturday's semi-final round against the BOCA Capital Athletic Soccer Academy. This exciting game went into double overtime and then penalty kicks, where the Fusion girls dominated. Goalie, Lilly Ackerman, successfully saved all shots attempted by the Boca girls. Justynne Thomas, Kayla Lewis and Drew Pagtakhan scored their penalty kicks to secure the win. Following Saturday's victory, the girls battled fiercely against their opponent, Placer United, but fell short by one goal in the championship game on Sunday. It has been a very successful season for the Fusion girls, who clinched first place in their division back in December. Standing proud with their trophy and medals are: Lexi Borgna, Lilly Ackerman, Bella La Rosa, Coach Paul Nicholson, Sierra Street, Gracie Dupuis, and Kayla Lewis in back, Justynne Thomas, Drew Pagtakhan, Sydney Keshmiry, Mia Mendoza, Claire March, and Dani Groth in front.
