The u-11 ASA Fire White girls team recently finished their WAGS season with an undefeated record of 8-0-1. The girls outscored their opponents 45-7 during the course of the season to unofficially finish in 1st place in Division Q. Congrats on a great season girls!
Fire White are Finalists at 2011 PWSI Icebreaker
The U-10 Fire White girls recently competed in the Premier/Red division of the 2011 PWSI Icebreaker Tournament and lost a heartbreaker in the Finals to the Brick Fury (NJ), 5-4. In the preliminary rounds, Fire White shutout all three of their high octane opponents from NVSC, VSA, and FASA on the way to winning their division before running into the high octane offense of Brick Fury in the Finals. The game was tied twice at 2-2 and 4-4 before Brick Fury scored the game-winner in the final moments of regulation. It was an exciting, hard-fought match regardless of the final score, and the girls should be very proud of their efforts. Congratulations to Fire White for making their fourth trip to the Finals in only their second year of travel soccer!
Fire Takes Home Crown at O’Connell Indoor Tournament
Thirteen girls from the u-10 Fire program recently participated in the 2011 Bishop O’Connell Indoor Tournament. The girls were divided into two teams - Fire Blue and Fire Black. Each team competed in four games against teams from all over the Northern Virginia area. At the end of a busy Saturday, Fire Blue won their age group by going undefeated and outscored their opponents from Arlington, VSA, and CSC - 24-5. Congratulations to both groups of girls for a great day of soccer!
Fire White are Finalists at Bull Run and Bethesda Tournaments
Fall 2010
The ASA Fire White girls competed in the 2010 Bull Run Memorial Day and Bethesda Thanksgiving Tournaments and were Finalists in the Premier brackets of both tournaments! Fire White competed against some of the best teams in MD and VA during both tournaments and proved they belong with the elite teams in the area. Along the way to the finals of the Bull Run Tournament, Fire White defeated the Herndon Saints, ABGC Xtreme, and Burke Alliance. After tying Bethesda Green in their first game of the Bethesda Tournament, the girls went on to score a HUGE 1-0 victory over BRYC Elite, one of the best teams in the DMV area, before advancing to the Finals with another big 1-0 victory over the SASA Revolution Blue. In the Finals of both tournaments, the girls lost hard fought matches to the VSA Heat and Loudon Red - two of the toughest teams in VA. Congratulations girls on your successful 2010 Spring and Fall seasons and best of luck in 2011
The U10 ASA Fire Red girls played extremely hard during the Battlefield Tournament. Spirits were running high as the girls developed their own team cheer and spray painted their hair red and white. Congratulations girls on a fun and exciting tournament!
