TSC 2012 Girls Lift State Cup Championship Trophy
MURFREESBORO, TN – The Tennessee Soccer Club Williamson 2012 Girls Premier team triumphed on Sunday, earning the Tennessee State Soccer Association Fall State Cup Championship at Richard Siegel Soccer Complex in Murfreesboro.
The girls, competing in their first state cup tournament, won the championship in dramatic fashion in a penalty kick shootout against rival FC Alliance. The U-12 team advanced to the final after a 5-0 victory over Tennessee United Soccer Club in the semifinal match.
“We are very proud of the girls who were able to lift the trophy in their very first year of state cup play,” said U12-U14 Girls Director Dean Blain. “What a great achievement for that group as they begin their journey at the older age groups.”
Five other TSC teams advanced to their respective championship matches. The TSC Williamson 2013 Boys Academy Premier White team fell in a heartbreaking penalty shootout and the TSC Williamson 2013 Boys Academy Premier Blue was edged in their final. Both U-11 teams played up a year in the U-12 age group.
TSC Murfreesboro 2006 Boys Showcase and TSC Williamson 2007 Boys Elite also were finalists on Sunday.
On Saturday, in the U-19 Division I final, the TSC Williamson 2005/06 Boys Showcase team traded goals in an entertaining game, finishing 3-3 through regulation and overtime, going to another penalty shootout. Luck was not on their side, however, as the team was not able to capture the championship, finishing as finalists.
Overall, TSC crowned one champion, had five finalists, five semi-finalists, and seven quarterfinalists.
“All of our TSC teams competed hard throughout the tournament and represented the club well,” Director of Soccer Stephen Jordan said. “We are looking forward to the older girls beginning their seasons and now we focus on the winter and spring.”
