It went to the third tie-breaker to determine the winner as they tied head-to-head and scored as many goals as the team that won the bracket, unfortunately our girls gave up one more goal than the eventual winners.
Congratulations to all the participants in the Summer Sizzler 3v3 event. It was a fun day filled with lots of Elite bonding opportunities. Our club was very well represented. Way to go Elite!!!
