Orem, UT – The O.M. Girls U-16 team advances to the State Cup Final with impressive wins against Arsenal Strikers, Avalanche 94 White, and Sparta 94 Premier.
The O.M. Girls U-16 squad has played exceptionally well during the 2010 State Cup! Last Saturday the girls alongside Head Coach Nate Murphy squared off against a difficult Arsenal Strikers team. The Strikers worked hard in the first half and held the score at 2 - 1 in favor of Olympique Montreux. Following the half, OM showed who has the stamina and shut the Strikers down scoring 4 more goals and allowing none!
With the 6 – 1 win the girls advanced onto the the Quarterfinals where they would face the Avalanche!
Due to rain the Quarterfinal game was pushed back until Wednesday evening. The girls came out and played hard right from the beginning. It was a tough game on both sides of the field but Olympique Montreux came out ahead with a 2 – 1 win over the Avalanche! “It was a great game to watch”, said Founder Bel Ami Montreux! The girls fought hard and played with passion. With the win the girls advanced on to play Sparta Premier in the Semi-Final game. They had previously played Sparta Premier earlier in bracket play and beat them 4 – 2. You can be sure that they were looking to take O.M. down this time around.
The stage was set Thursday evening for the State Cup Semi-Final! Only 4 teams remained and the girls are now playing back to back games after their win the previous night over the Avalanche. The game began and Sparta scored early in the game to go up 1 – 0 over Olympique Montreux. It would remain that way until half. The second half the girls came out and fought hard but couldn’t find the equalizer and still were a goal down with time diminishing quickly. It would remain that way until the final 5 minutes when O.M. would strike back and tie the game up at 1 a piece. The game went into overtime and the score remained the same. It stayed tied all the way through the double 10 minute over time and so we were headed to a PK shoot out. The Penalty Kicks didn't take long and the O.M. girls shut Sparta down 4-0 for the win and the chance to play in the final for the 2010 Youth State Cup! What a game!
The Girls have played extremely well the entire tournament and now look to take the title as State Cup Champions as they face a very tough and very good La Roca Premier team. The game will take place this STAURDAY May 29th at 9:30 a.m. at the Lakeside Soccer Complex ***Field 2 (1850 West 400 South, Orem UT). We need your support this weekend. ****The first 100 O.M. fans at the game will receive an official O.M. lanyard for your keys***** So get out there and cheer on you Olympique Montreux Girls!
