Fury wins Foothill Cup
The Division 1 Girls U-14 Mustang Fury were victorious in their quest to become Champions of the 2007 Placer United Foothill Cup, in Roseville at the end of October, as they went undefeated throughout the entire tournament with every team member contributing to the success.
A total of nine goals were scored by the following: Jennifer Dougherty, Haley Perkins, Lauren Connelly, Madison McCormick, Kendall Vignaroli and Christina Coffin.
In the Championship game, after 60 minutes of a hard fought battle, the score was tied at 0-0, so the winner would be decided by penalty kicks. Goalkeeper Paige Southmayd was successful in preventing any penalty kicks to be scored upon her. Fury defenders Michele Giron and Morgan Ramos put away perfect penalty kicks, ensuring the Fury's victory.
The Fury had a near perfect shut-out, allowing only one goal to be scored against them the entire weekend.
