The U16 M Cougars won the Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association’s State Cup Presidents Cup on Mother’s Day with a thrilling 3-2 overtime win over a very strong Berks-Ajax team. The Cougars scored two goals in the first five minutes of the game, but Ajax scrapped their way back into the game, scoring one goal in each half, and took it to overtime. The Cougars went ahead half-way through the first 10-minute overtime period and held on through the second to seal the victory. They will move on to the Regional tournament against the winners of the northeastern states in New Hampshire during Memorial Day weekend. Great job boys, and best of luck at Regionals. You continue to make us all proud!

The girls had an exciting outdoor season. They ended the season with an undefeated record of 9-0-1.  There were a few games where the girls got out on top early and never looked back.  We also had a few tough fought battles.  Coming out on top of the standings or coming in second came down to one of our last games.  We went into a home game against Solebury leading them in the standings by a single point.  The winner of this game would finish in first place.  The girls played hard and pulled out a 2-0 win to secure first place.  We are looking forward to the 2012 season.

In the winter of 2011, the idea to develop a new crest for our Travel Soccer program was brought up in one of our General Membership Meetings. It was unanimous that we should move forward with the idea, and in late summer, 2011, a small committee was formed to develop the basic concept and design for a new crest.
