HFC 97Girls Blue goes undefeated at the CASL Girls College Showcase in Raleigh NC
Congratulations to the HFC 97 Girls Blue Team for going undefeated in the “U15 Girls Elite AdiPure Bracket” at the CASL Girls College Showcase. The girls ended up with a record of 3-0-0 after having scored 8 goals and only allowing in 1 goal! All 3 games were against well coached teams and were hard fought battles…The girls represented HFC and themselves very well and had a lot of quality moments out there on the fields. The girls are now headed to the GSA Adidas College Women’s Showcase that will be held December 2-4, 2011 in ATL.

HFC 96Girls Blue finish with a 0-1-2 record at the CASL Girls College Showcase in Raleigh NC
A great effort by the HFC 96 Blue Girls - 2011 State Champs show them finish with a 0-1-2 record in the “U16 Girls Elite AdiPure Bracket” at the CASL Girls College Showcase. The girls played a great brand of soccer in the first 2 games that saw them tying both games 1-1, and 2-2 BUT had plenty of opportunities to win both of those games. They lost the 3rd game 0-7 to a well-coached, talented, and highly physical team from Canada that had a number of Canada U16 Youth Players. At all 3 games, the girls got a chance to play in front of several college coaches – which is the main reason why HFC offers the opportunity to our elite teams to take part in these college showcases. The girls are now headed to the Atlanta Final 4 Girls College Showcase that will be held December 2-4, 2011
