The MO Elite FC 2000 team started the spring league season off with a big win on Saturday, April 3rd. Competing in the U10 Boys Blue bracket, the girls played their first official game against the boys. Elite got goals from 5 different players in their 5-0 victory over the Nighthawks. Maddie McLain (pictured above courtsey of SGFsoccer.com, please check out more of his photos available for purchase via his website) opened the scoring for Elite on a big corner that went off the keepers hands and into the goal. Crozbi Gannon lofted another big shot up and over the keeper from just outsite the 12-yard box to give Elite a 2-0 halftime lead. Julia Snider scored next for Elite seven minutes into the second half when she broke through the defensive line and launched a shot on goal. The first shot was knocked down by the keeper, but Julia pounced on the loose ball and placed it past the keeper to extend the lead to 3-0. Brinnae Cooper scored goal number four after executing a beautiful take-over from Snider in the center of the field just outside the penalty area and firing a bullet past the keeper into the right corner of the goal. The fifth and final goal of the game was scored by Bailie Robinson on a strong PK shot taken after she was tripped from behind in the box as she got past the last defender and headed to goal. Well done ladies!!!
