06 SEP 2010 - Congrats girls on a well-played tournament!

28 FEB 2010 - Receipe for a great tournament win? Mix in 26 teams, three weekends, rain delays, and schedule changes. Sprinkle in some hard work, determination, and teamwork. Add a dash of luck. Result? One sweet victory for G96 Blue!

Although going undefeated during pool play, things did not start getting interesting until the playoffs, where G96 would have to win three games in one day to secure a championship.

The Blues first met up with Silver East rival, Los Gauchos, in the quarterfinals. Regulation time was not enough to decide the contest and penalty kicks were needed. Little did the team know that this was going to be the order of the day. Quarters, semis, and finals - every match was decided by PK's from then on. In every case, the Chelsea girls came out on top.

Coming up big in goal - Allie Jara. On PK kick duty - Jaime McDonald, Kiana Tomeo, Val Santana, Kylie Watkins, and Tia Sandford. Whether blocking the shot or putting the ball in the back of the net, these six were the sure bet in the tiebreakers.

Backing them up - the rest of G96 Blue. Fowards Brooke Lovelady and Rebekka Poss. Midfielders Kira Weaver, Alyssa Regalado, Maddy Coe, and Makenzie Coovert. Defenders Devon Morones and Kimmy Hauck. Congrats and well done girls! Go Chelsea!

24 AUG 2009 - 4 games. 3 different venues. 2 shutouts. 1 tournament championship. It was a weekend of numbers for G96 Blue during the OC Kickoff Classic this weekend in Irvine.

During pool play, the Blues downed Desert United SC and Temecula United by the same score of 1-0. They also tied a tough Long Beach FC 1-1, surrendering their only goal during pool play.

After a tight 1-1 match in the finals against '08 league rival Galaxy Alliance, goaltender Allie Jara came up huge, preventing any points from being scored during the tiebreaking PK's - propelling the girls to their first championship of the season.

27 JAN 2008 - Neither wind, nor rain, nor mud could stop G96 from making it to the finals of the Diamond Bar / Walnut Valley Winter Shootout. Fighting the rainy weather and sloppy fields, G96 battled bravely and took the finals to double overtime before losing a heartbreaker.

It was a testimate to the girls' toughness and character that they hung in despite the extreme conditions during the two day event. Good job and congrats G96 Blue!
