Gilbert Women lost in a heartbreaking 3-2 to Lugoff Elgin (Varsity) team in the final. It was a great game but a little disappointing that L-E felt the need to play their varsity girls in a JV tournament. (Gilbert played the real L-E JV team the first game, and L-E had a few varsity players, but Gilbert won 4-0.) Guess after have a losing season for the L-E JV and Varsity (neither won any games)that the L-E coaches felt it was a way to boost the moral for their girls, so they called up the varsity for the final game. Although it was legal, I have to question the morality of such, but at least we know our girls can play, and play well, against varsity level players. Looking forward to moving up next year! Maybe Lugoff Elgin should just keep their varsity on the JV level, at least they could win some more games.
