National Girls Championships: Division I

Scores from the National Girls Championship Tournament at the SCORe Soccer Complex in Racine, Wisconsin:

Division 1 Quarterfinals Saturday May 18th
     The opening round of the D1 tournament featured four impressive matches.  As a tournament at this level should be, every match was competitive and with the exception of the 1 v 8 match, one could see how any of the matches could have gone either way. 

(#1) Fallbrook 41  Danville (#8) 0
     Danville came out and almost scored in the first minutes of the match, featuring the blistering pace of their standout fullback and their dynamic running #9, but Fallbrook's skill and experience were unmatched.  Danville showed they can compete at this level.

(#4) Catholic Memorial 12  (#5) Summitt 5
     Summitt slowed the game down well and with the short halves it proved effective for the first 22 minutes.  Memorial got rolling in the second half and scored two tries.

(#2) DSHA 22  (#7) Sacramento 12
     The young but very talented Amazons took on the Wisconsin powerhouse team in a match-up both coaches have wanted to see happen for over a decade.  In a match worthy of a final, DSHA's fast start coupled with a strong finish helped them overcome a very talented team.  The Amazons look like a potential championship team in the making.

(#3) Kent 10 (#6) West Carroll 7
     Two physical teams slugged it out for the full 45 minutes.  With a senior laden team, West Carroll pushed the eventual finalists but Kent just wouldn't crack.

Division 1 Semifinals
Fallbrook 33  Catholic Memorial 0
     Fallbrook proved unbeatable in every match they played.

DSHA 20  Kent 22: 
     The Dashers passed up a field goal attempt in the closing minutes and took the quick tap instead, which ultimately they were unable to convert into the points they needed.  A long intercept try from Kent's #13 Asinate Servei helped them upend the #2 seed in the tournament.  DSHA played a lot of offense but couldn't finish enough against a tough defense.
