Girls Elite 64 Playoffs
Coppermine Soccer Club sent five girls teams to Orlando, Florida to compete in the Elite 64 Playoffs (1/19-1/23):
Elite 64 is the top club-based platform in the USYS National League. The event featured over 160 girls club soccer teams (2011 – 2005) from across the country.
This is the first stage of two stages of National League events for the 2010-2005 age groups. This stage provides every team that advances an opportunity to compete at the National League P.R.O event in Tampa, Florida 2/23-2/27. Teams that advance out of the National League P.R.O qualify for the National Championship.
Coppermine led all clubs claiming three of the six champion pool Elite 64 Playoff titles. 2024 Elite 64 Playoffs Coppermine Girls Champions:
2011 Girls Title Game Recap Three straight clean sheets helped Coppermine SC 11G Elite 64 claim the 13U playoff title, as it capped off its weekend with a 1-0 win over Team Boca 11G Elite 64 in the championship game. After a scoreless first half, Coppermine’s Ava Abarbanel found the back of the net in the 40th minute to put her side in front. The Maryland side relied on its stout defensive work to see out the remaining half-hour of play, as it secured the 1-0 victory.
2009 Girls Title Game Recap Coppermine SC 09G Elite 64 saved its best performance for the title game, as it won, 5-0, against Charlotte SA 09G Elite 64. Caroline Marsh opened the scoring moments after the opening whistle, and Christiana Mitchell doubled Coppermine’s advantage with a 17th-minute strike. Mitchell later completed a brace when she finished off a move down the right wing with one-touch finish in front of goal. Catherine Ruopp added two late goals to cap the dominant showing by Coppermine that gave it the 15U title.
2007 Girls Title Game Recap A third straight clean sheet for Coppermine SC Girls 07G Elite 64 awarded them the 17U title. Facing off against Lobos Rush 07G Elite 64 in the championship game, Coppermine jumped in front in the 21st minute when Samantha White found the back of the net. Sarah Ford added an insurance goal just before the end of the first half, helping Coppermine to a 2-0 victory and the playoff title.
2008 Girls Title Game Recap A tight title game saw Team Boca 08G Elite 64 defeat Coppermine SC Girls 08G Elite 64, 2-1, to win the 16U title. Coppermine took an early lead with an Audrey Lucas goal in the 10th minute, but Boca’s Morgan Tyrakoski quickly replied five minutes later to equalize. Midway through the second half, Julianna Liguori found the back of the net for the Florida side to clinch the win and the playoff title.
This was a great showing for our girls Elite 64 teams. It takes a club effort from players, parents, coaches, administration, etc. to produce these results and a reflection of all the hard work put in by everyone!
