CUSC U10 Black  8-0 over JIYSC U10 White
MP Revolution 5-0 over MP Impact
Championship Wrap-up
This was the most inspiring match of the day in the Girls divisions! CUSC U10 Black, a talented and well coached team,  had been untouchable all season averaging almost 8 goals a game. Then along came the smaller and fiesty MP Revolution team who mirrored their coach's energy with an all out effort all game long to play as hard as they could. The score was 1-0 at the half on a goal by Remi Olalare.  CUSC would score 2 more times in the 2nd half, another by Remi and by Kayla Kleinfeldt. But the Revolution kept on coming and scored a goal by Anslie Bucknam. Even in defeat they cheered their accomplishment.

The Walterboro Hot Shots went undefeated this season capping it off with solid performance in the finals against CUSC U10 White.

Two different styles of play clashed in the finals with the Walterboro Embers playing much defensively and counter attacking vs the James Island U11 team trying to push the ball forward whenever possible. It was working for WSC until Jordan Funk scored for JI to make the halftime score 1-0. The match continued much the same way in the 2nd half and again JI was able to add another goal, this time by Caroline Smith.

Championship Wrap-up:
GCU Chaos and JIYSC U15 White were evenly matched and the 0-0 halftime score reflected that. Five minutes into the 2^nd half Brooks Domingo hit a shot from just inside the penalty box that put the Chaos ahead 1-0.  GCU applied a lot of pressure on JIYSC for the next 20 minutes, but they weathered the storm.  With less than 10 minutes left in the game JI girls equalized on a goal by Lorena Kaelser.

BCU had a goal called back halfway into the 1^st half, but they tallied with a few minutes left on a goal by Connor Akers. BCU scored again in the 44^th minute (Andrew Gray) and GCU had to resort to counter attacking, but could not find the back of the net.
