STATE CHAMPIONS!!!
Sunday May 3rd, the South Sound FC G94 Crush defeated Federal Way Reign for the Girls 2009 State Championship. SSFC started strong when Alyssa Edenstrom scored off a corner kick in the 9th minute to give SSFC an early lead. A determined Federal Way team were able to create many dangerous situations around the goal box, but SSFC denied each opportunity capturing their second state title in the past 3 years.
SSFC G94 will travel to Lancaster, CA June 15-21 to compete in the Far West Regionals.
Congratulations to SSFC G94 who have had a grueling schedule and many accomplishments this past season.
