The curtain comes down on another soccer season for a number of the area's teams at the sixth annual Veterans' Invitational Tournament in Evansville over the next two weekends.
Six sides from Net-Surfers and Southern Indiana United will travel to the Evansville Elite hosted competition, which will see over 250 teams (U9-U19) from 10 states. The tournament has also attracted Louisville's top teams - some of which feature local players - including Javanon, Mockingbird, the Thouroghbreds and United.
First up this weekend are the girls and Net-Surfers will be represented by four teams at the U11, U12 and U13 levels.
The U11s are in the Classic 2 section and have a busy schedule, with two games on Saturday against Lady Ambush and Lady Invasion, following by another brace against the SWISA Tigers and Lady Blitz on Sunday.
Net-Surfers has two U12 teams taking part - Purple and White Waves - in the Classic and Classic 2 sections. Purple faces off against JB Marine/Foerster, FCE Lady Lion, Lady Strikers and Owensboro, while the White Waves will be hoping to wash away SWISA Flames, Louisville's Thoroughbreds, Evansville Elite and Lady Ambush.
The club's fourth team participating this weekend is the U13s and it will have two games on Saturday against JB Marine/Foerster and FCE Cobras, with a third game against Metro Strikers on Sunday.
The boys' tournament will be held on November 17/18 and SIU's U11 Terriers will be one of four teams from the club hoping to add a bit of bite to proceedings.
Coached by Paul Duckworth and David Stinson, the boys went undefeated at the recent 'Nightmare at the Rock' tournament in Indianapolis with three shutouts, missing out on a place in the final by a goal difference of one and tying 0-0 with eventual winners Center Grove.
The team is 5-1-1 in tournament play so far this season and has outscored its opponents 17-2 in tournament play. It will be hoping to add to its win column with games against Jasper Firestrikers and Evansville Elite.
The second team traveling from SIU are the U9 Thunder, which has already tasted success this year when winning the Bluegrass Invitational tournament in Lexington in August.
It plays against Evansville Elite and SWISA Academy on November 17, before a double dose of Thoroughbreds (B and Green) the following day.
