Any word on the Bridge FA match?

It doesn't kick off until 8:45.

cesa 91 girls played with just 11 players the last game.gave up a early goal and then played hard the last 60 mins.almost got one in with about 8 mins left.cesa 16 boys and dsc lost 1-0 i think.

I think that is it for the South Carolina teams. Except Bridge may have been postponed because of weather since their score is not up. Hopefully they are playing tomorrow cause they should have a great chance against Florida. Good amount of teams in the quarter finals for South Carolina, most of them only lost by a goal too. It seemed we were competitive in most all the matches even against the defending regional and national champs. Most impressive team had to be Cesa 90 Premier. Advancing out of a group with THREE North Texas teams; that is ridiculous. They have the talent to bring home a regional championship in the upcoming years. Bridge was also great. Wasn't sure what to expect but finishing first in the group, regardless of how hard the draw, is a great accomplishment. Congrats to all the teams that advance and to all SC who played close, hard fought matches and represented SC well. South Carolina did great.

Bridge finished up a good regionals for SC with a 2-0 loss to Florida. It was a good game. The match kicked off at about 9:00. Unfortunately a Bridge player was injured very late in the match, probably 2 minutes or less. Something with the knee.

So, did any SC teams win anything?

I believe some SC teams made it to quarters, but no further. If you have never been to regionals or seen this level of soccer it may be easy to say that no SC team "won anything," but look at the scoreboard for regionals and nationals. MANY 1-0 matches, many teams virtually identical.

Teams had to play Sat and Sun for 25-min halves—no full matches. Often on soaked, flooded fields with high sod. A few were moved to some nice turf fields. But regionals were survival events this year. SC teams who were there were already winners, right?

For example, in U18G, the past two regional champs were Greensboro and Dallas. Greensboro finished last in pool play and did not advance, and Dallas (most recent champ) fell in quarters (advancing to quarters by 1-0, 1-0, 0-0). "Winning" at regionals is a razor thin event.

It is tough at Regionals. It reminds of how rare it was for the MPSC ICE to advance to regional semi's twice and regional finals once. At the time the finals was a first, but quickly equaled by Golden Strip U-18 team.

The Columbia United U16 Girls finished 1-2 in pool play. Lost to FL 1-0. Beat MS 1-0. Lost 3-0 to Sting Royal TX, (one of the 3 was an own goal). I think this was a good showing for their 1st trip to the regionals.
