The U12G make it to the SEMIFINALS @ 2011 FC Delco Players’ Cup in the Top Division. In oppressive weather conditions, the U12G battled in 5 games in a 48 hour period, notching wins over LDC UNITED GALAXY (Ranked #3 in Pennsylvania), GARDEN CITY CENTENNIALS WILDCATS (NY East), including an exciting Quarterfinal Match over #4 North Carolina Ranked PITT GREENVILLE ’98 PGSA STARS that went to penalty kicks. The group stage match vs YMS EXPLOSION ’98, the #1 team in REGION I, was arguably the most exciting; a 4-3 Loss for the NJ STALLIONS-BEC Celtic Girls that was 2-0 at halftime, seeing YMS EXPLOSION ’98 coming back to tie in the 2nd half. With the score 4-3 in the closing minutes, the NJ STALLIONS girls had 2 corner kick opportunities that did not find the back of the net. In the end, the Semifinal was a loss to NJ Regional Rival, FC Sting Charge. Overall, the performance was the best showing the NJ Stallions’ girls have put up in the 3 years attending the event in the Top Division.
