For the second straight year, the Lynchburg United U17 Boys Elite team has captured the championship at the Old Dominion Cup Soccer Tournament in Virginia Beach. This years tournament matches were held on the campus of Virginia Wesleyan College. Head Coach Tom Prest’s team was in a division of 5 teams which played a 4 team round robin. Champion and Finalist were determined on points based on the results of all 4 matches.

On Saturday, December 6th, they opened play against the Roanoke Star Premier White and defeated them by a 10 – 0 score. In their afternoon match, the played the ODSC Panthers from host Old Dominion and won 3 – 1.

Sunday morning, December 7th in a very blustery windy match the team drew with the McClean Raptors 0 – 0. Needing maximum points in their fourth and final match in hopes of securing the championship, the did just that by defeating Monticello United by a 3 – 2 score.

Congratulations to Head Coach Tom Prest and to all the awesome players on the U17 Boys Elite Team!

Three Lynchburg United Soccer Club Travel Teams have won Division Championships in the Skyline Club Soccer League… Congratulations to the following LUS Travel Teams…

                          

U12 Boys White Team: Head Coach Charlie Larson

Charlie Larson’s boys won the leagues most competitive and top U12 boys’ division championship in the Skyline League this fall via the leagues post season playoffs. In the first round of the playoffs, the boys defeated top seed SOCA in a 2 – 0 shutout. In the championship match, the team defeated Shenandoah Valley United in another 2 – 0 shutout. The technical ability of these young boys is extremely impressive!

U12 Boys Red Team: Head Coach John Casler, Asst. Coach Andy Ashcroft

John Casler’s young boys won the largest U12 boys division in the league which consisted of 6 competitive teams from SOCA, Augusta FC, Fluvanna Force, Shenandoah Valley United and Orange County. The team completed the 10 match regular season with a record of 9 Wins, 0 Losses, and 1 Tie. It’s extremely difficult to not just win a division championship, but to win that division unbeaten in 10 games. This is a very hard charging group of boys that continue to grow technically and tactically.

U13 Girls White Team: Head Coach Amy Dahlin, Asst. Coach Matt McGinn

In coach Dahlin’s first season as the teams head coach, and the teams first full season adjusting to the full sided 11 v 11 game, the girls were nothing less than spectacular in winning their division championship to go along with two tournament finalist spots in the fall. The girls defeated SOCA in the division championship match by a 1 – 0 score. The U13 Girls White team will be moving to the more competitive Virginia Soccer League in the spring of 2009!
