It was another great week and weekend of soccer for the CASL YTS program. The weather is cooperating and the games are competitive and fun for everyone who is a part of them. Here is a run down of this week's games!
CASL YTS FIRE-Coach Tommy Retzlaff
Coach Tommy's group had an excellent performance in Chapel Hill at the Rainbow Fields. The team has great team spirit and really enjoys playing together. Brianna Pendergraft had a very good match on both sides of the ball, playing excellent defense and completing passes while also scoring two goals. Kaitlyn Buock had another excellent game scoring a goal and setting her teammates up for great goals. Eliah was much improved from last week getting her first goal of the year. Overall a very impressive performance with everyone contributing and playing well
CASL YTS CREW-Molly Skinner and Lindsey Vera
The CASL Crew continued to play good soccer and improve as they took on Triangle United in Chapel Hill. Grace Densmore led the team with a great workrate and some very smart passing and moving throughout the game. Emma Totten seems to have a nose for goal and got herself another one. Sydney Wilson is getting pretty comfortable in goal and did a great job again yesterday. Lucy Kreuger continues to play well in each position she is put in and did a great job in the back yesterday. Chloe Hasund also had an excellent day with her skill on the ball. Overall a great day for everyone. Coach Molly and Lindsey are hoping to work a little bit on finishing this week. They feel the team is often faster then others but need to work on crossing instead of shooting the ball when they are at bad angels.
YTS Manchester United-Coach Caleb Norkus
The U-9 Manchester United battled it out with a strong side from Triangle this weekend, and put forth a winning effort, though in the end had to settle for a tie. They did well to come back from a goal deficit, having given away a goal from a pk. Jack Hicks tore up the right side with his speed with the ball and put in several crosses that the team will hopefully capitalize on in the future. Nick Atkinson looked strong as usual, as did Peter Glenn who it turns out is very capable of holding down the defense himself, having to break down several counter attacks. The timing of his tackles were fantastic! Tommy Petrutcione skill was always dangerous for the other opponent. The team showed great character throughout the game and eventually had to come from behind to get the tying goal just minutes before the end.
CASL YTS LAZIO-Coach Caleb Norkus
The U10 Lazio team got off to another good start with everyone contributing to their excellent performance. Ben Zahavi showed some great speed and much improved skill out on the flank while Colton Howell added a powerful strike for a top shelf goal. Michael Hoff and Kelvyn Oudjit added some dazzling foot skills and wonderful passes setting up their teammates for goals. Aaron Teal played strong and scored the game's first goal by dribbling through at least two defenders and burying it near post. Joey Daly was outstanding at goal tending saving several shots, including two pk's in a row. Colton Pleasants added a great performance from the back and it was another good performance from Lazio.
CASL YTS BARCELONA-Coach Jill Bradford
Megan Proudfoot played very well on Sunday and helped her team create some great goals. Technically, she looked very comfortable on the ball and did a great job of taking defenders on 1v1 to create goal scoring opportunities. Sierra Lowery also did well and helped contribute to the team success by connecting passes out of the back and finding target forwards. On many occasions, Kristine Lauture was able to switch the point of attack, and that led to goal scoring opportunities.
CASL YTS MADRID-Coach Kelly Miller
McRae used her athleticism and speed to create 1v1 opportunities on the flanks. McRae was able to beat her opponet with her technical skills and this led to multiple goals. Mackenzie Gower was the hardest working player on the field on Sunday, and her hustle and desire was exciting to watch. She brought a lot of energy to the team and her "never say die" attitude was an inspiration to everyone. Lily Peden did well as a front runner and had many good shots on goal.
CASL YTS EVERTON-Coach Eric Bratager
The boys gave up a number of goals very early, but did a good job of working hard and competing to get back in the game and accomplished their goal of winning the second half. Great effort from the whole team against a very good TU side, I thought Jacob Steinberg, Daniel Wu, and Jalen Duran did a good job settling the game down after the rocky start. John White also caused a lot of problems with his work rate and running at defenders and Owen Perez scored a couple of great goals in the second half.
CASL YTS ARSENAL-Coach Fabio Suarez
Arsenal vs Chelsea was an ESPN instant Classic. Arsenal was up 2-0 with Jackson Rhoades, Gabe Meyer and Liam McLaughlin really doing well offensively getting off shot after shot. Josh Brateger played huge in goal and kept Chelsea from giving up a few goals early. Lucas Game up with a monster goal to bring the game to goal and also played a big role in finding the equalizer. Final score 3-3
CASL YTS ROMA-Coach Fabio Suarez
Roma did well from the beginning, obviously due to the guest trainer running the warm up. The boys got on the board in the first 3 minutes and never looked back. It seemed like almost every shot attempt was a goal. Andrew Lee knocked the first 2 in and played monster defense in the 2nd half. John was great in goal in the first half, but save of the day has to go to Jacob Fortner when he saved a pk and did it while obviously psyching out the shooter with face of pure panic. Triangle United managed to find the net in the end but the damaged had been done. Everyone put in great performances for the Roma Squad. Well Done!
CASL YTS JUVENTUS-Coach Nick Cerullo
Team Juventus had a great game against AC Milan that was closely played till the final whistle. Team Juventus with the defensive help of Harry Cooper and Zac Mason kept procession of the ball for the first 5 to 10 minutes of the game showing off some of the passing skills they have been working on so diligently at practice. The boys put in great effort after a rough start last week and came away with a great result.
