Libertyville Finalists!
The main catalyst for the success in the Libertyville Tournament Memorial Day was the determination of the players. That determination accompanied with the competitive spirit of the team led to outstanding defensive work on all areas of the pitch. The defensive work then gave the team confidence to mantain ball possession and create openings via good passing. PSC U14 won games against Ela Competitive (2-0), Chicago Kickers (1-0), and Carol Stream (2-1). Unfortunately, PSC was unable to win in the finals against a very good Hoffman United, but they were the only team to score on Hoffman United in the entire tournament and the team should be proud of a very good outing!
