The LMSC U14 boys ended a fabulous Summer Tournament Season Playing in the Championship game of the Mustang Stampede. Although they came away with 2nd Place they held their heads high after playing their hearts out in their last two games of the Tournament. To make it to the Championship game they had to beat a team that had not been scored on all weekend. They had started the summer at the National Cup in June not making it to the final rounds of play. They then moved onto the San Ramon Tournament and finished 4th after a hard fought consolation game. They are looking forward to a wonderful Season which includes a trip to Nomad's in San Diego.

The U10 Navy team played in the 2009 Devil Mountain Tournament on Labor Day weekend. The boys played well, winning all three qualifying games. They made it to the championship game, and came in 2nd overall. It was a great way to kick off the weekend before league play!

These games led to a final show down against the other team with three shut out games, the NorCal ranked number two team, Bay Oaks Blasters. Our girls fabulously held their own and surprised the Blasters with a 1-1 tie. The team may have finished second by tournament rules, but in our eyes, the team finished as first place players!  Go United!

The U11 1A Boys kicked off their tournament season with a strong showing in 2 tournaments in August.  Over the course of 6 games they won 2, tied 2 and lost 2. The two losses were by narrow margins, and the team is showing an ability to score goals, take an early lead, and limit the goals scored against them. The boys had an especially strong showing in the August 15th Diablo FC tournament, where they won one game and tied the other two, coming one goal away from getting into the championships!
