Fire close out season with win at PDA

June 1, 2010

Sunrise Fire U17 girls completed their 2009/2010 season last weekend with a victory at the PDA Showcase in New Jersey. As the only Florida soccer team accepted in this top ranked event, Sunrise won all three matches and captured the title of 2010 PDA Champions. With victories over Ohio Premier, So Cal Blues and the Jersey United Strikers, Sunrise secured its tournament victory with 27 total points, scoring 8 goals and allowing zero. With over 300 college coaches in attendance the team put on a good performance.


While this team stumbled at the State Cup quarter finals, they had an excellent season. Earning a spot in the R3PL this season, they showed they could play with some of the best teams in the country. The team won a championship at CASL last November, finished in third at the Disney Showcase and was a Jefferson Cup semi finalist. All of these tournaments exposed the players to college coaches from across the country and put the team on the college soccer map. Each and every player on this team has been talking to at least 3-4 different college coaches about their future playing plans. While each girl is taking their time to make sure each fit is best for them, expect every girl on this Sunrise roster to verbally commit in the near future.
