Chantilly returns from USYS National Championships after good showing

They arrived in Lancaster, MA and settled in and begun the process of preparing for the competition against the three (3) Regional Champions as well as the National League Champion & runner up. Monday & Tuesday, they attended the required lunch and dinner banquets getting the oppurtunity to hold the National championship trophy in the hope of adding it to their Region one hardware shelf.

Chantilly Burn vs FC Pennysvania Strikers (1-1)
The first game on Wednesday, Chantilly faced an old foe in FC Pennysvania Strikers bright and early. Chantilly struck first on a deflection off the goalie by Olivia to go up by one into the half. After the break, FC Penn hit a bullet into the back of the net off a corner kick loose on the equalizer. Both teams fought back and forth until regualation to end in a tie.

Chantilly Burn vs SO Cal Blues (0-0)
In game two against the SO Cal Blues, both teams were very physical and it was starting to turn into a brawl. At mid-point of the half the game begin to settle in with Chantilly pressing and SO Cal counter-attacking with near hits for both teams. The last ten minutes had Chantilly with multiple shots just missing but the game ended in a draw.

Chantilly Burn vs Scott Gallagher (MO) (1-1)
The third game time was pushed forward a few hours due to the rain storm of the previous night. It also offered both teams the oppurtunity to play on the beautiful turf fields at the park. As in the first game, Chantilly hit pay dirt with a "bend it like Beckham" corner kick by Melissa mid-way through the first half. Chantilly maintained that score until the break. During the second half, Scott Gallagher (MO) found a loose ball in front of the goal for the equalizer. Multiple chances presented themselves the rest of the way but no goals were added.

The experience of playing at such a high level tournament against the best youth soccer teams in the country was well worth the time put in during practice throughout the spring. We enjoyed representing Virginia Youth Soccer Association (VYSA) as the U15G Region 1 Champion as well as continuing to prove that the Washington Area Girls Soccer (WAGS) League is one of the most competitive in the country. The ladies didn't come away with the hardware but they left it on the field and competed well. Congrats to all the other teams in reaching the pininacle of youth soccer!

Coach Jorden after the tournament: "Its been one hell of a long Spring and Summer for us, and a great one at that. I am so proud of this team and our accomplishments. The experience we've gained winning Region One and playing at the National Championship will be something our players take with them for the rest of their lives!"

The prestigious award is named after Randy Rawls, one of the leagues original founders and its first President. The award honors the winner’s sense of fair play, something for which Randy was renowned as he sought to bring soccer opportunities to the youth of Northern Virginia. Randy has since retired to Florida where he authors detective mystery books www.randyrawls.com

In addition to the honor of being selected for this award by their peers, the team will receive 20 FREE tickets to see D.C. United play at an MLS regular season match in 2009. Friends and family members will also be able to join them for a special discounted rate. The team will also receive a congratulatory plaque; an opportunity to get a team picture with the MLS Cup trophy; and the team will be recognized during a Halftime Ceremony at field level during the ODSL Night with D.C.

Coach Christine Brown stated, "I'm very proud of the players for their conduct on and off the field. Although we outplayed most of our opponents last season, it means a great deal to us that they still respected and recognized our efforts by voting to give us this award."

Panthers '96 White Chill and Thrill at the PWSI Icebreaker
On a cold and windy weekend the Chantilly Panthers '96 White U11 girls turned in an outstanding effort posting four straight shut out victories and freezing out the competition at the PWSI Icebreaker. The Panthers used their speed and skill advantage to control the flow of each game and dominate in time of possession. A stifling defense allowed very few opportunities to our opponents and forced them to play much of the game in the shadow of their own nets. On offense the Panther girls showed great ball control and passing skill allowing them to score 10 goals of their own in tough conditions as they walked away with a perfect 4-0-0 record and the tournament championship. Way to go Panthers!
