There was improvement this year for Southern Indiana United’s U16 Mavericks and U17 Rampage at the 2010 Indiana State Cup preliminary round stage, held in Fort Wayne, Westfield and Evansville at the weekend.
Last year, both teams found the going tough, neither registering a win. However, this time round, both were more competitive, each securing a victory.
Rampage, Indiana Challenge Cup winners in 2007, beat Indianapolis Premier 2-0 in its final game at Westfield.
In their other games, Rampage lost narrowly to Evansville ESC in its first game last Friday in Evansville, but found group winners Westside United too good on Saturday in Westfield (5-0).
Mavericks, meanwhile, Challenge Cup finalists in 2008, beat Zionsville Eagles 3-0 in Fort Wayne. It lost a tight game to Carmel United 3-2 and went down to group winners Millennium SA Armory (8-0).
The finals weekend will be held in Lawrence on June 12-13, with the winners representing Indiana at the US Youth Soccer Midwest Region II Championships in Beaver Creek, Ohio from June 25-30. This year’s national finals will be held at Overland Park, Kansas from July 20-25.
Meanwhile, the Indiana State Challenge Cup, featuring many of the area’s teams, takes place this weekend. More on that next week.
