G93R Team Makes Top Ten Nationally


Here's something to celebrate!  EFC's G93R team has climbed into the top 10 nationally after a great weekend in Vegas. This is a huge accomplishment for the team, Head Coach Dan Strom, and Asst. Coach Frank Gallo.


They attended the Las Vegas College Showcase where they played 4 games. First game was against the IL state champ where they won 3-2. Frank said “Going down a goal 5 min's into the Region 2 Champs from Chicago, & absolutely spanking them in the 2nd half to come from behind was a dramatic performance! One of the best games in my 30 yrs....”


Second game, was against the Region I Champion, and we played a tough game but lost 0-1 despite out-shooting our opponents!

Third game was aginst the 2nd ranked team in NJ where we won 1-0.

Last game was against the Georgia State Champ and we won 3-1.
It was a great weekend – here is part of an email from Coach Strom:

"Your daughters played so well and showcased their ability before over 100 college coaches throughout the weekend and did so with a limited roster due to injuries to three regular roster players and a last minute scratch of a guest player.  What's more, the third game was played in gusty wind conditions and the fourth game featured a strong steady wind that impacted the quality of play for both teams. That the team won the top showcase division with a 3-1 record was a solid accomplishment and not only built the team profile but will also draw attention from college coaches in the future."

Well done all!
