LIGHTNING - GIRLS 2010

RECAP OF THE SEASON

2nd place (tied) SoCal Flight 1

Our team has been wanting to make the move to SoCal for a couple of years now and are grateful to the club for affording us this opportunity in this league we could not take anything for granted and the team had to bring full effort every game. Highlights include a 4-3 victory over a very good Sporting California. On a last minute goal from midfield and playing our absolute best passing game iof the season in the final league game versus Oxnard United. In addition to finishing 2nd in the league, the team won 2 tournaments including the Santa Clarita invitational and the West Coast Classic where we surprised team from much bigger clubs. out-scoring all opponents 13-2!




COACH ALVARO:
"My best memory of the season was our last SoCal league game vs Oxnard United, even though it was a 0-2 loss we could have won that game, but this is the beauty of soccer: not always the best team wins. Since I started coaching team lightning, my goal has been to get to see the girls performs and play at their highest level, so I could just see them play with not much coaching from the sideline. This game was phenomenal to watch, the passing movement off the ball, communication, effort and attitude, everything was there, I enjoyed it from start to finish! At the end of the game all I did was remove my hat and said to my players, "Thank you for allowing me to see you play a this level"
