2009 Spring Match and Tournaments Results & Headlines
June 7th, 2009 - The Frederick Fusion literally hand the Spirit a victory for our final match of the year, leveling us at a 4-4-1 record for our 2nd season in Division 4. Great work this season, girls!
May 31st, 2009 - Our girls' efforts are upstaged by quality opponents' play in back-to-back regular season matches against the top two teams in the division (also see 5/17/09 below) - this week from perennial rival and now division-leading Prince William Soccer's Courage '93 White. Losing this match 2-5, the Spirit look to their final match of the season next week to recoup some lost ground on the rest of the division.
May 24th & 25th, 2009 - The Spirit participate in the Virginian Soccer Tournament, one of the largest and oldest in the country, splitting their four games over two days with two strong victories, but losing a heartbreaker 0-1 in the semi-finals. Their dominant play prepares our girls well for the final two-week stretch run of the spring season of WAGS Division 4 play, where they currently stand level for the season and boast one of the top three defenses in the division.
May 17th, 2009 - Traveling to the beautiful Maryland Soccerplex, the Spirit were unable to turn back a powerful top-ranked Montgomery Soccer Club's Bulls attack, losing 4-0.
May 16th, 2009 - Avenging the last two seasons' losses to the Vista Fury, our Spirit girls rely on their defense (one of the top in the division) to blank the Fury, while capitalizing on their second half offensive push, to triumph in this rematch, 1-0.
May 10th, 2009 - In a "sunny away game" version of last week's match, our girls travel to Alexandria to do battle with a long time opponent, the Annandale Fury, but the Spirit come up empty and leave disappointed, dropping this one by the same score of 0-1.
May 3rd, 2009 - The Spirit come out strong at home against the Damascus Dragons, but only the opposition manages to capitalize on the rain-soaked opportunities of the match, leaving our girls at the losing end of a 0-1 score.
April 26th, 2009 - In back-to-back late match heroics this weekend, the Spirit stay undefeated for the season, taking on an aggressive Great Falls Extreme squad. A second half opposition PK goal is offset with a beautifully struck shot from 15 yards out at the end of the second half, drawing the match at 1-1.
April 25th, 2009 - The summer heat hits early this season as the Spirit host the Frederick Fusion. As the temps climbed to the mid-90's for the match, our girls drew on their "Walters conditioning" to erase a 0-1 deficit, then score late in the match to take this one 2-1!
April 19th, 2009 - Looking strong in the WAGS season opener, the Spirit hit the road to Warrenton and put together some nice runs and solid defense, avenging their loss last fall to the Explosion by posting a 2-1 victory! Way to start the season, girls!
March 14, 2009 - Our girls traveled to the Beach FC Tournament in Virginia Beach to stretch their legs for the upcoming WAGS season. The perennially soggy venue of Virginia Beach saw some great play, but the tourney ended up canceled due to rain! Well, at least we all had fun at "the Team house"!
