WV CHAOS U10 GIRLS WIN MASC TITLE! The West Virginia Chaos (Fox) u-10 Girls won their first tournament championship at the Mid-American Soccer Classic (MASC) in Cincinnati, Ohio on April 13, 2008. They played well all weekend prevailing in the preliminary rounds by beating a Kentucky team and two Cincinnati area teams before playing a classic championship match against the Lexington, F.C. from Kentucky.
The Chaos handled the CS Chargers 6-0, the GSC Cardinal White 6-0 and the Beechmont Blast 4-2 on Saturday and Sunday morning.. Sunday afternoon matched the undefeated Chaos against the unbeaten Kentucky team. The Chaos dominated possession and shots on goal in the first half but Lexington's keeper played extremely well. Nearing the end of the first half, Lexington scored on it's only shot on goal in the first half on a quick counter attack. The Chaos entered half-time trailing for the first time in the tournament, 1-0. Early in the second half, the Chaos scored the equalizer. Minutes later, the Chaos struck again on a very nice pass and shot to take the lead 2-1. This lead would hold up until the very last touch of regulation when Lexington scored from just inside the box to tie the game at two and send the game into two five minute overtime periods. Neither team scored in the first extra period. However, early in the second extra frame, the Chaos went up 3-2. This lead was short lived as Lexington scored on its' very next possession to end the second overtime tied at three.
The Chaos entered their first ever penalty kick shoot-out. Lexington struck first and went up 1-0 but the Chaos evened the tally at 1-1. Lexington went up 2-1 but the Chaos scored again to level the score at 2-2. Some excellent goal keeping kept Lexington from scoring again and the Chaos scored on its' fifth and final shot to prevail 3-2.
Coach Ashleigh Woods commented that she was very proud of the girls and how they kept their composure throughout the match. The tournament was played in frigid temperatures with rain falling on and off throughout the championship match. Coach Woods was assisted by Renee Balconi who also voiced her satisfaction with the girls' teamwork and competitive play.
Speed & Agility New sessions will be starting tonight 5:30 - 6:30 at Shawnee. They will run every Tuesday.
U12 Boys 8v8 Team does very well at MASC The Chaos U12 8v8 team had a good showing at their first tournament. They tied two matches 1-1 and lost one 2-0. New coach Luke Ibbetson said "The teams were pretty evenly matched, I think the kids played pretty well, considering they are a brand new team.". Several parents felt Luke did an excellent job with them, and they are very pleased with all of his efforts." This team is definitely moving in the right direction.

U17 Girls Win!!!! The WV Chaos U17 Girls were declared Co-Champions in the U-17 Premier Division of the John Talley College Showcase in Memphis TN. The girls advanced out of Group A and into the Semi Finals where they won 4-3 in a PK Shootout. Unfortunately, continuing severe weather throughout the Memphis area canceled the Championship Game.
The girls were happy to have been named Co-Champs but disappointed not to prove their mettle with an outright Championship!
