The Close to an Amazing Season!

This past weekend the UCF women's club soccer team played in the third annual 7v7 tournament hosted by UNC-Chapel Hill. We made it all the way to the semi-finals, even with a small team and a few injured players. All games were played on the turf fields of UNC-Chapel Hill. All of the players that went really had a chance to bond with each other, and played amazing during all six of the games that we had. The ball control exhibited in these few games really showed the great potential that lies within the young players of this club team. A special thank you goes out to those that made a special guest apperance in goal: Lindsey Topetcher and Carly Topkin! They played awesome and had many amazing saves.

This past Tuesday night, the club team played in the finals for CSFL against whiskers at 8 PM, with an ending result of 1-4. There were a lot of things right with this game, but we just couldn't pull it together. Even with many sore legs, and special guest Carlyn as goal keeper, the knights proved unsuccessful. Despite all this, they played amazingly well, stringing together amazing combinations and working on their passing skills. The only goal was scored by Tanya Belt.



A special thank you goes out to Nikki Richardson, the only graduating senior this semester. Thank you for everything! You were an amazing asset to the team, and you will be missed!
