US Club Soccer Washington Cup Tournament Successes

Three Eastside FC teams were crowned champions at the 2009 US Club Soccer Washington Cup at Starfire last weekend.

Congratulations to our girls GU11R, GU12R and GU13R teams for taking home the championship trophy. Each team dominated in their bracket.

Check out this video from Phil Emory of a key goal for GU13W...

This was the third match for our GU13W team.  They need a 3-0 victory to advance. So with the score 2-0 in the 54th minute, EFC's Wolfie Pendelton intercepts a pass, sends it up to Kellcy Emory for the assist to Julia Meade and the game winner.
