Wanderers Finalists at Hershey Invitational
In their second 11 v 11 tournament, the Wanderers did a great job with just 13 players over a very hot weekend making it to the finals against opponents from Pennsylvania and New Jersey. After the first day of playing two strong games and securing their spot in the semi-finals, the Wanderers enjoyed a day riding the rides at Hershey Park. After winning the semi-final 1-0 against a strong and fast Medford, PA team, the Wanderers went to the finals against an aggressive team from Brite Township, NJ. During this high paced, intense game, the Wanderers found themselves down 1-0 with time running out. In a bold move, on what was almost the final play, all 11 players went into the box on a corner kick to try and get the equalizer. A rocket shot of the post secured them a tie! After 2 sudden-death overtime periods, the two teams went into penalty kicks, where the Wanderers ended up losing after 14 shots and numerous great saves by each team! It was another great tournament and weekend for the girls who learned a lot about themselves and their great determination.

Wanderers Finalist at Virginian
In their first 11 v 11 tournament as they prepare for the fall 2010 season, the Wanderers played a strong group of teams to reach the championship game, with a 3-2 record and 8 goals scored and just 4 against. They played a fantastic 80 minute game for the semi-final, in which they ended up scoring two goals in overtime to win 3-1. In the final, in a game that could have gone either way, they played a very tough team and ended up losing 1-0. All in all, a great learning experience and one that helps them get ready for the fall.

Relentless attacking resulted in scoring 3 goals in each preliminary round game as the team advanced to the championship game despite uncharacteristic defensive lapses.

With the Championship on the line, Calypso Coach Paul Robson pulled his goalie and attacked with all seven players on offense in the final minutes, before finally dropping the heartbreaker 0-1. The girls were disappointed, but showed their mettle by fighting right to the very end. Go, Go, Calypso!
