It what turned out to be a great event, Team Crush ended the Memorial Day weekend winning the Finalist Title in the Premier Silver Bracket.  Crush began play on Saturday against the Chantilly Revolution.  The Revolution brought speed, good technical skills and aggression to the first match of the tournament which presented the Crush with their only loss in their bracket play.  Following the early morning Saturday loss, team Crush brought all the needed elements to mount continued wins against FCF Academy Blue, SYC Pride White and Arlington Rowdies Red, which eventually advanced them to the finals.  The finals matched team Crush against the Vienna Strikers White.  During this match Crush and Vienna mounted well planned attacks and presented premier match play which could have easily been forecasted as a win for either side as the match progressed.  In the end Vienna won with a narrow one point lead.  Coach Mike, Matt and Marlo were delighted with the outcome and look forward to our next event.

PS...yes there is a story behind the pink socks.  Coach Mike and Matt agreed to wear the socks at the Finals Match if we advanced :).  It was painful but well worth the effort and fun had by all.
