Seven teams from Southern Indiana United and Net-Surfers competed in the Indiana Soccer Challenge Cup preliminary rounds at the weekend and it turned out to be a good one for SIU’s U13 Strikers.
More than 295 teams ranging in age from U11 to U17 played at four host sites across the state. The is event open to travel and recreational plus teams from Indiana.
U13 Strikers qualified on goal difference for the finals weekend, which will take place in Lawrence, Indiana on June 12 and 13.
Coached by Paul Duckworth, the boys beat Westfield Select (2-0) and tied with Tippecanoe (0-0) before clinching its finals spot with a 4-0 win over NWI United FC.
Tippecanoe also finished with a similar goal difference, but Strikers advanced because only a maximum of four goals per game are counted. (Tippecanoe won its last game by five.)
Also participating in the Challenge Cup were SIU’s U11 Thunder, U12 Strom and U15 Renegade, while Net-Surfers was represented by its U13, U14 and U16 teams.
The U16s tied Carmel United 0-0 and beat Fort Wayne SC Lady Futballers 2-0, but goal difference prevented the girls from progressing.
