Benchwarmers

First Place

Soccer - Sundays (Summer '16)

The "Benchwarmers" are our Sunday Night Soccer Division 2 champs following a number of close victories on the night. Entering the evening as the #2 seed the "Benchwarmers" certainly had a shot to win it all, and that they did with a couple of fantastic efforts, being well-rounded on both sides of the ball.

The night got started with quite a bang as #1 "The Come-Back Kids" got stuck in a dogfight with #4 "Libertad FC". After regulation the score was tied 1-1 and it took penalty kicks to decide a winner. During penalties "The Come-Back Kids" were able to sink four goals to "Libertad FC's" two, finally sealing their fate in the championship game.

In the second game of the night "Benchwarmers" took out "Cuervos FC" by the final of 3-1 to see themselves off to the final. The game was much similar to a previous 2-1 win by "Benchwarmers" against this same squad earlier in the season.

In the championship game the "Benchwarmers" continued to be great on both sides of the ball, while "The Come-Back Kids" were unable to get their offense very far off the ground thanks to some stifling defense. They were able to pick up a goal, but that wouldn't be enough has the "Benchwarmers" were able to net three goals en route to a 3-1 championship win.

Congrats to the "Benchwarmers" on their great championship run, and we wish them luck in Division 1 next season as they are off to bigger and better things!
