The Infinity SC 96 Girls Premier team traveled to Las Vegas on the weekend of October 24-26 to play in the 2008 Mayor’s Cup International Tournament. Competing in the Silver Adidas bracket, the team went undefeated in four games to claim the championship trophy. Down a goal in the first game against Colorado United White, the girls struck back almost immediately, tying the game before halftime and pulling ahead to win 3-2. The next game, against Nevada FC Heat, was a 1-0 nail-biter; the semi-final against Illinois River Forest Rapids resulted in a more comfortable 3-0 finish.
The Infinity team then met Colorado Storm in the championship game. Infinity scored in the first half, but Storm answered in the second: the game went to a penalty shootout with Infinity prevailing. Congratulations to the players and coaches on a job well done!

Too bad you were not in the picture.
Love Dad
I wasn't in Las Vegas with them.
What is the Silver Adidas bracket
relative to, what are the other brackets?
Each tournament had tiers of competition. In this tournament the top tier was gold and the second tier was silver. This was a highly competitive tournament that attracts some of the top teams in the nation. Our U13 Girls team played in a very competitive Silver tier and came out victors. Next year we hope to enter the gold tier if they continue to progress at a similar rate.
