[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How the tournament?[/quote]

In the highly discussed U12 group, Loudoun and Arlington tied atop their bracket, forcing a 7:45am shootout, which Arlington won 4-3.  Arlington thus won the bracket and played McLean.  Loudoun played A3 Arsenal to a draw in a very taut physical game.  Arsenal is a very long athletic team, and almost found a way through, but ultimately the game went to a shootout.  Tied after 5, they shot ones, until Loudon buried one and Arsenal's kick went wide.  Arlington beat McLean 2-1, in a game that didn't seem that close, with the only McLean goal coming off a pretty poorly called penalty.

In the Final, Loudoun out-hustled Arlington in the first half going up 2-0.  Arlington fought back in the second half, and had multiple scoring chances, but couldn't seem to put their foot on it.  Loudoun was unable to create a shot in the second half.  Hard fought game, but Loudoun made the most of their opportunities and Arlington did not.  Loudoun is the deserving champion.

Arlington seemed to be playing like the team of old, as opposed to the team that has struggled through the Fall.  Rumor is that their old coach was back on the sideline for the tournament.
