On a warm, sunny weekend, Chelsea G97 Blue made their debut at the California Spring Cup. Playing as a team for the first time, they prevailed over their opposition at every turn. Controlling both sides of the pitch, Chelsea scored 18 goals and only allowed 1 goal as its offensive firepower and defensive wall was too much for their opponents to handle over the two day tournament. The girls used every inch of their bodies, from the soles of their boots all the way up to their heads, to dominate each match. They played with a lot of heart and determination and never wavered from their goals to play hard, not give up, and have fun! This championship was truly a team effort with all girls contributing – whether it was the great defending and passing by Bridgett, Briana, Adelle, McKayla, Camila, or the hat trick by Kaylee and Luli, or the assists and goals by Molly, Jessie, Karlie, Dominique, Ashley, C.C., and Sophia, or the amazing saves by goalies Jillian and Cassidy – each girl gave 100 percent! The final battle was to be waged on Sunday against Ballistic, a team from Nevada. Chelsea had beaten them on Saturday 2 – 1 and knew they were coming back for revenge. And so the stage was set for the final showdown. A capacity crowd of friends and family rooted fervently from the touchlines as the referee blew the final whistle. In true Chelsea fashion, G97’s hard work and determination were realized. G97 defeated Ballistic 4 – 0 and were named California Spring Cup Champions!
