Two southern Indiana players have been blazing a trail recently with Louisville club United 1996.
Defender Brett Bass and winger Gabe Stewart are members of the club’s ’94 Internationals team, which followed up its success at the Disney College Soccer Showcase in Florida last December with victory in the United Cup Classic in Louisville last week.
Bass is a sophomore at Providence, while Stewart, from Henryville, plays at St Xavier.
Now ranked as the top team in Kentucky, United added to its trophy haul by securing the U16 Gold title. It had wins over Evansville Classic (4-0) and Michigan Burn (2-0), before losing to Classic Hammers FC of Ohio South 1-0.
However, by that stage they had already done enough to reach the final, and went on to beat Metro FC, also from Ohio, 1-0 in the decider.
United 1996 looked set for more success at the weekend when it won its first game at the Jefferson Cup in Richmond by beating SYA Nova of Virginia 2-1 in the U16 Superior Division. Unfortunately, the remainder of the tournament was cancelled due to bad weather.
