Fusion U9 Girls Playing in the Sand

This past weekend, June 1st - 2nd, the Fusion U9 Maroon team (playing as the Sand Stars) proudly represented Livermore Fusion Soccer Club at the Pro Am Beach Soccer Tournament in Santa Cruz. As a young group of first timers to the sand tournament, the Sand Stars were bursting with enthusiasm and excitement to play hard. Saturday's Game 1 was an energized match-up against the Fighting Cougars. The game appeared close early, but the Sand Stars played shut down defense and pressed offensively to earn their first shut-out victory (10-0)! Game 2 was more of a battle with the Sand Stars down by 4 at the start of the 3rd period. The team never gave up and dug deep to take back the four goal deficit and eventually finish with a 5-5 tie to the USA Stars. Sunday morning the Sand Stars, down a couple players from Saturday, took to the field feeling confident and ready for battle. They had a tough match-up against the Highlander Girls and worked hard but came up a bit short finishing with a 1-3 game...For a new and young team, this little group represented extremely well! We are extremely proud of Harris Baxter, Kira DeMello, Ella Ferrick, Zoe Granks, Kassi Hill, Kimmie Keller, Trina Keller, Katie Levine, Ava Lewis, Natalie Palmer, Sashee Piper and Brooke Toricco. Special thanks so our stellar parent coaches Jason Piper, Chris Palmer and Donny Franks. Go Sand Stars!!!
