CUP U-23 Women’s Team Competes at Regional

This past weekend our CUP Red U23 Women’s team competed for a Regional Championship in St. Joseph, Michigan. The team is comprised of top college players from throughout the Ohio South, Indiana, and Kentucky area.

CUP Red started the weekend strong, winning their first game on Friday 10-0. Saturday morning CUP Red faced the two-time defending national champions - - KC Dynamo. The Dynamo started strong, scoring first (30 th minute), with CUP Red battled back late in the half to tie the game 1-1 on a Lindsey Boling (University of Louisville) goal (44 th minute). Although CUP Red got stronger as the game went on, playing most of the 2 nd half in their attacking end, the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

On Saturday afternoon CUP Red faced the defending U23 Regional Champion and National Finalist - - Carmel Commotion. KC Dynamo had defeated Carmel on Friday 2-1 in a tight game, and CUP Red needed to win the game and overcome challenging tie breaker rules. CUP Red scored two goals late in the first half, and began the second half with an early goal. CUP Red continued to push, hitting the bar multiple times. Despite the fantastic efforts of a strong Carmel goalkeeper, CUP Red scored two more goals late in the game, winning 5-0.

CUP Red finished group play 2-0-1 - - defeating the defending U23 Regional Champions 5-0, drawing with the defending U19 National Champions 1-1; and overall scoring 16 goals and allowing 1. Unfortunately CUP Red did not advance by rule of the fourth tie-breaker, falling one goal short of KC Dynamo who scored their 14 th goal against a team playing with just nine (due to injuries) just as CUP had two shots hit the bar against Carmel in the final minute of the game. KC Dynamo went on to win in the finals.

Congratulations to CUP Red - - we are proud of you.
