The most dramatic final of the day took place in the 17/18U Girls age group, where IE Surf 00 Kooiman (CA-S) needed to come back from a two-goal second-half deficit to defeat Cook Inlet S.C. 00G (AK), 5-3, in extra time.
“The competition in Region IV is quite stiff,” said Surf coach Cle Kooiman, a member of the 1994 U.S. World Cup team. “We were fortunate. Our defense played very stingy, and we got some goals from players who don’t normally score. The girls did really fantastic.
“The team from Alaska is by far the best team we’ve played in the last year and a half. That game in itself is going to prepare us for the [National Presidents Cup] in Florida.”
The US Youth Soccer Presidents Cup offers teams the challenge of experiencing different types of play by competing from state to regional to national levels. The Presidents Cup provides teams with a progressive, competitive experience that highlights competition, camaraderie and community.
