Spring training starts on Monday with a new coach and a few new players.  Tim Reynolds will coach the Crossfire Premier GU13 White team this year.  Kristina and Haili are on another Crossfire Premier team now.  Instead, we will be joined by Hannah Van Hoff and Jordan Nelson (and possibly more).  Practices start Monday at 4PM at Marymoor Park.  See you there.

I will be updating the web site soon with roster and coaching changes.  I will also be setting up a calendar that can be shared by all of us.

Go Crossfire!

The 2007/2008 season came to an end today with a heartbreaking loss to the Shoreline Sapphires. Crossfire Shull didn’t allow any chances in the first half of play while managing a couple of opportunities of their own. In the second half, Shoreline capitalized after an unfortunate bounce and took the lead 1-0. With the entire Crossfire team pressing forward for the equalizer, Shoreline was able to find the net in the dying seconds for a 2-0 victory.

Despite the loss, this was likely the best team effort of the year. The girls have come a long way since March and Coach Shull expects to continue the improvement into next season with the same group of girls.

Well done girls and thank you for a very entertaining season!

After defeating the Anacortes Explosion Sunday afternoon, Crossfire Shull will be moving into the Commissioners’ Cup elimination round.  The final score was 1-0, but they had many chances to score and dominated the game from start to finish.  Again, Caroline was the lone goal scorer.

Crossfire Shull finished in a first place tie with Camas/Washougal Crush in the "E" division.  It is yet to be determined which team will advance as the higher seed.

Great game girls and GO CROSSFIRE!

Crossfire Shull continued their quest for the Commissioners' Cup today with an exciting game against Camas/Washougal Crush.  The Crush opened the scoring near the end of the first half and took a 1-0 lead into the break.  Caroline Wilkins tied the game in the second half with a great shot on a breakaway.  Although there were several scoring chances after that, neither team was able to find the back of the net and the game ended in a tie.

Crossfire Shull now heads to Whidbey Island where they finish the preliminary round with a match against the Anacortes Explosion.

Go Crossfire!

The Commissioners’ Cup began today with Crossfire Shull playing to a scoreless draw with the Greater Renton Patriots under the lights at Liberty High School.  Both teams earned 4 points in the preliminary round standings for their effort.  Crossfire Shull will now prepare for 2 more preliminary round games next weekend where they will battle hard for a spot in the elimination round.

GO CROSSFIRE!

The Commissioner’s Cup starts this weekend and the girls are busy preparing for their first game against the Greater Renton Patriots Red.  The game starts at 4:30 Saturday afternoon at Liberty High School.  The two teams split their season series, but Crossfire Shull finished four points ahead of the Patriots in the final standings.  Crossfire Shull continues their quest for the Commissioners' Cup next Saturday at Marymoor Park and Sunday in Anacortes.

GO CROSSFIRE!

Crossfire ’95 Shull jumped up 2 spots in the standings with a 4-1 victory over Issaquah Arsenal. Before last week’s victory over Renton , the girls were sitting in last place with just one tie on the season.  That victory moved them into 6th place and today’s victory moved them up to 4th.

After giving up the first goal, Crossfire rebounded with 2 goals before half time.  Leia picked up the first goal with a solid shot that the Issaquah goalie was unable to handle.  A few minutes later Rachel blasted another one in to take the lead.

Caroline scored in the second half after taking a break away pass that was just on side.  Issaquah’s goalie came way out of the goal to challenge, but Caroline was alert and drove the ball past her from a long way out.  Haili finished the scoring after she retrieved a rebound from her own corner kick.  She curled the ball over everyone’s head and it bounced off the far post and into the net.
