After winning the 16 Gold Division in the Magic Cup Tournament last month, the U15 Orange team follows up with another tournament title at Rage Soccer City Warm-up.  The team won all four games with exceptional defensive play as they held all of their opponents scoreless for the tournament.  In the first game, they defeated last year's tournament finalist MTH Pac Inferno 2-0 with outstanding offensive play from both the forwards & midfielders.  Rincon Valley Impact put up a strong fight in the second game but Rage finally took advantage of their many scoring opportunities late in the game to come away with a 1-0 victory.  The team came out very strong in their third game against Palo Cedro Sting and cruised to a 3-0 win to earn their spot in the finals.  Rage faced last year's Association Cup Champs from Fair Oaks in the championship game but they were up for the challenge.  The teams battled to a 0-0 tie thru regulation play & 2 overtime periods so it all came down to penalty kicks.  Rage prevailed 4-2 winning their second tournament in a row in dramatic style with PK's.  Both Rage goalies played an outstanding championship game and had several key saves to help the team earn the victory.  Great job ladies!
