Nebraska State Cup

I just found this post in draft form. Even though it is old, I'm posting it anyway.

The State Cup Tournament determines a team's ranking in the state. May 30th and 31st Reagan's U13 soccer team competed against Bennington Moxie, Gretna Sting and EGA White. We won all three games outscoring our opponents 17-2.

Look at this face after heading the ball...Ha Ha Ha
Advancing to the semi-finals on June 6th secured a place for us in Midwestern Regional League next year. Game 4 of State Cup was against CSA, a team out of Lincoln. This game gave us a good challenge. Even though the CSA girls are bigger and stronger, like other teams few can hang with our girls the full 70 minutes on the field.

In the Nebraska State championship game we faced a local team who some may call our rival. The gotsoccer.org website even had them ranked above us but there really is not doubt which team is stronger, faster, quicker, smarter, better coached...truly the dominating team, we are. Reagan and her teammates possessed the ball the majority of the game and crushed them with a 4-0 victory. For those who do not follow soccer, four goals in one game is a lot of goals.

Now on to the Region II championships in FoxCities, Wisconsin. Go Elite Girls Academy!!
