United 01 Girls Black Win Second Tournament

The WGFC United U9 girls arrived at the Cobb YMCA Academy Icebreaker challenge with one purpose in mind-to win. And they did just that. Saturday's games were won by Team United, with scores of 2-1 and 5-1, respectively, with goals scored by Jordan Luetkemeyer, Carsyn Sauls, Kristin Beasley, Brandi "Pinki" Peterson, Aly Jordan, Aleia Gray, and Katherine Irving. By the end of Saturday's games, with a 7 point lead over the next contender in their bracket, their spot in the championship game was already secured. At Sunday's final against Columbus, a lone goal by Kristin Beasley proved to be the game winner. The defense played very strong as well. After this weekend's victory, the team's tournament record is 2 for 2, after also winning the Sugar and Spice Classic in November. Coach Anne Marie Underwood is very proud of all of her girls. They proved that when a team stays focused and works together, they can accomplish anything they set their sights on.
