April 30, 2012 - Cincinnati, OH - The Spring Classic hosted teams throughout the region this past weekend. Saturdays matches were interrupted by rain and lightning for close to 2 hours. Many games were shortened and played in muddy conditions, but all matches were played. Although the weather wasn’t perfect, the athletes battled at Francis Recreacres and Miami Whitewater fields.

2012 SPRING CLASSIC RESULTS

March 26, Cincinnati, OH - The U10 Red Girls started the spring season off strong with a 2-0-1 group record en route to advancing to the KSA Turf Classic finals this past weekend. The tie came as a result of the first game being cancelled due to weather. The ladies did not let the setback bother them as they beat the Blast (Columbus, OH) 3-1. In the final group game, the Thoroughbreds (Oldham County, KY) battled the Red in a close game with OESA coming out on top 4-3.

The U16 Gold Boys used a strong defensive effort led by goalkeeper, Robbie Frye, to claim the KSA Turf Classic Championship. In four games, the team conceded only two goals while scoring six. Because of the tight games, Frye needed to be at his best. He was solid in every game making critical stops. In the finals, he came up big with three key saves allowing his teammates to capitalize on their opportunity for a 1-0 finals win.

Soccer America selects the top 30 clubs based on success of their teams in national youth competitions over the last three years (2009-11) and the selection of their players to national youth teams and other national achievements in 2011. Club profiles may reference other accomplishments but accomplishments of former players and the number of players placed in college are not considered.
