Lady Twisters: 2008/9 Season:
Regular Season:
PAGS Regular Season Record: 0-5-4: 4 points and a 9th place finish. The 2008/9 year saw the Twisters move to their first year of Premier level of play. The Twisters battled throughout the season in each game.
The Twisters objective this year focused on technical training and engaged with The Academy of Dutch Soccer to provide the training (www.academyofdutchsoccer.com). Coach Chris has brought a solid set of technical training to our team and the results are already showing. The Twisters are half way through their training and our level of technical skill has shown dramatic improvement. The Twisters are now preparing for the State Cup tournament set to begin in March 2009 against PA Classics in the first round.
The Twisters would like to thank all family member fans that joined us during the regular season games. We value your spirit and enthusiasm while encouraging us every minute of every match. We had a fun year learning new skills, new formations, and gaining new friendships with the new Twisters joining the team this year.
Tournaments:
The Twisters participated in the Spirit Kickoff Classic during August 2008 as well as the Discovery Cup 2008. The Twisters had a successful run at the title in the Discovery Cup’s top premier bracket. The Twisters won their bracket with 2 Wins and one tie making it to the semi-finalist stage against a solid Hershey Attack team. The Twisters battled hard but came up short as Hershey won 1-0 in a very entertaining match. The Twisters finished third in this competitive Columbus Day tournament.
