Net-Surfers' Purple reign supreme!

Net-Surfers' U12 Purple girls reigned supreme at the weekend when striking gold at Veterans' Invitational tournament in Evansville.

The Purple team went unbeaten - winning three and tying its fourth game - to capture the Classic section with 10 points.

The FCE Lady Lions were the first to be tamed on Saturday by coach Dave Carrier’s girls, when going down 3-1. Next up was a crunch tie with JB Marine Foerster, which they won 3-2 in a tight encounter.

On Sunday, Net-Surfers continued its purple patch with a 2-0 victory over Lady Strikers, before clinching the title against nearest rivals Owensboro United with a 1-1 tie.

Meanwhile, Net-Surfers' U11's totted up four points in the Classic 2 section. It started well with a 3-1 win over Lady Ambush and tied 3-3 with SWISA Tigers, but found Lady Invasion (2-0) and Lady Blitz (3-0) too strong.

The U13s lost its games to JB Marine/Foerster (4-1), FCE Cobras (2-0) and Metro Strikers (3-1), while the U12 White Waves found SWISA, Thoroughbreds, Evansville Elite and Lady Ambush tough opposition.

This weekend is the turn of the boys, with Southern Indiana United's U9 Thunder and U11 Terriers hoping to reproduce its fine recent form.

U9 Thunder 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 Saturday before a double dose of Thoroughbreds (B and Green) on Sunday.

The U11 Terriers, 5-1-1 in tournament play this season, will be hoping to add to its win column with games against Jasper Firestrikers and Evansville Elite.
