The Mercer Island FC U14 Girls Thunder team participated in the Sky River Tournament this weekend, Aug. 21-23, in Monroe.
The Thunder team blanked Bellevue Select 2-0 in play on Friday Aug. 21. The team played two more games on Saturday with a resounding defeat of the Granite Falls Thunderbirds 5-0 and another win versus Seattle United NE GO1 White who managed to eke out one goal in a 5-1 win.
The Thunder met up with the NSC G01 Reign in the finals on Sunday morning. With Thunder and Reign on the field, the game was 0-0 at the half.
Both teams, tough competitors and fairly equally matched in their passing techniques and defense, fought hard. In the end, the Reign managed to squeak in a goal to win the game 1-0.
The Thunder team was able to make many shots on goal but the Reign defense and goalie managed to thwart every try. The GU14 Thunder took second place in the tournament.
