CCC CHAMPIONS

Congratulations to AC Tempo for winning the CCC tournament. Being a new team to the club, AC Tempo, coached by Kim Francis, the ODU women assistant coach, dominated and won their league and were excited to enter the CCC for challenging games. The first day of tournament play was reminiscent of their league wins, beating Virginia Rush Classic White 7-1 and CUSC Xplosion 8-0. Sunday proved to be a much tougher time for AC Tempo. In the semi-finals, they faced tournament host, CUSC Lightning. The game was tied 2-2 at the end of play and proceeded to go on to overtime. The ladies dug in deep and came out with a goal to win 3-2. This sent AC Tempo to the finals to face ODSC. Again it was tied at 2-2 and had to go to overtime. Having already faced overtime once that day, they were up to the challenge and scored twice to win the championship 4-2.

OLD DOMINION CUP FINALIST

Coming in from their CCC championship win, AC Tempo proved once again that they are a force to be reckoned with. The girls started their tournament against VA Rush Blue with some impressive play from Virginia Sanford scoring off of her corner kick, and Alex Connell scoring from defense to win 6-5. Later on that day they had to face CUSC and again were able to come away with a win by a goal scored in the 56th minute from Darby Moore. This set them up for their win against VA Rush White 6-2, with goals coming from Cristina Bashara, Jennifer Wilson, Darby Moore, Sarah Mariano, Kayla Airiagi and Virginia Sanford. With three wins behind them AC Tempo entered the championship game against the Greenville Stars of North Carolina. The final game was tied at the half due to hard play from every lady on the AC Tempo squad. The Greenville Stars were finally able to finish against Tempo's outstanding defense and excellent play by goalie Catie Wiedmair. The final score was 2-0 in favor of Greenville but AC Tempo will be ready for them next time.
