The ESC 91 Black and ESC 98 Black clubs each swept through their tournaments and claimed a title at the weekend tournament. The ESC 91 Black girls won the Under-18 gold tournament with a 2-1 victory over Viatia 91 (Mo.). And the ESC 98 Black girls took the U-11 gold tournament title with a 3-1 victory over Extreme FC 98 (Okla.) on Sunday.
A pair of local clubs also finished runner-up last weekend. The ESC 93 Black girls took second with a 2-0 loss to Andromeda 93 (Texas) in the U-16 gold tournament. And the ESC 98 White team was second in the U-11 silver tournament, after losing to NYSA Fury 98 Hooker (Okla.) in the finals.
The ESC 91 White girls also put forth a strong performance, winning the consolation championship of the U-18 silver tournament. While ESC 96 Black, ESC 99 Academy, ESC 94 Black each advanced to the semi-finals.
