The Santa Rosa United Flash U12 girls took third in the Livermore Elite Halloween Classic this past weekend. The tournament was structured as a one bracket, seven team , pure points tournament. Facing tough competition, the Flash defeated the Bay Oaks Bandits (1-0) , Fremont Storm (2-0), and Davis Legacy (1-0). Their only loss (0-1) came against the Turlock Tornados when they were awarded a controversial penalty kick.

Coach Noah Parker continues to express his pleasure with the growth and development of the team, just coming off a strong second place finish in league. The Flash continues training for Norcal Cup and is beginning preparations for State Cup beginning in January 2008.

Santa Rosa United’s U12 Girls - Flash continues to post impressive league and tournament results, including: 3^rd place at Elk Grove, 2^nd place in Novato , 4^th place at Bay Oaks, 3^rd Place at the Livermore Classic, and 2nd Place in CYSA League play.

The Flash got the ball rolling in July with a 3^rd place finish in the Elk Grove United Cup.  In August they reached the finals of the Novato Classic tournament (losing 1-0 in a strong effort against Heritage Storm.)  Two weeks later the girls had to settle for 4^th place at the Bay Oaks Tournament.  (A 1-0 loss to the hosting Bay Oaks Bombers, state cup semi-finalists last year).  In recent league play the Flash have looked sharp in impressive 2-1 victories over Sonoma County Alliance and Central Marin and a 1-0 loss to the Shock. 

Coach Noah Parker has these girls feeling (and proving) that they can compete with any team in their age group. Keep it up Flash!
