The CVSC Ultimate GU16 team travelled to Santa Barbara this past weekend to compete in the Santa Barbara Spring Cup. Following their Championship in Ventura the previous weekend, the Ultimate girls were eager to prove that the results in Ventura were no fluke. Backed once again by great defensive play, the girls went undefeated in pool play, beating higher ranked North Valley Fusion 2-0 and drawing 1-1 versus another higher ranked Westside Breakers team. The girls were on their game again on Sunday morning, beating Santa Monica United 2-0 and earning a spot in the Championship versus the host Santa Barbara Soccer Club.
The Championship was a fast paced, well played game for both teams but ended 0-0. Penalty kicks would decide this one and while goalie Mikayla Allan did her job, blocking the first two SBSC kicks, the girls couldn't muster enough and lost 2-3. This was the second straight championship for Ultimate in the past two weeks and they have given up only one goal over the past 7 games. Nicely done ladies!
