Ranking Games
The Palms Boys played first at 9am while the girls played later in the day at 12pm.
The boys won their first two games with a safe margin but then fell in their last game of 3 to a score of 6-1. They did not end the day undefeated but did finish in 2nd place in their group putting them in a great seeding position.
The Palms Girls had a pretty uneventful start; unfortunately their teams didn't show and they had to play Pio Pico twice to make up for the missed teams. They went on to win both games pretty comfortably. These results would then place Palms Girls in first place in their division putting them as the 1st seeded team in the Western Conference.

Elimination round.
Just as the ranking games the boys started off the day playing their first game at 9:30am. They played against a fierce opponent going down in the first half 4-0. Its nothing the Palms boys couldn't handle. The second half they adjusted very well but weren't able to put the ball in the back of the net. The boys lost in quarter-finals 4-0.
The girls, on the other hand, performed amazingly! As a result of being first place they automatically advanced to Semi-finals and met against Pio Pico again. The girls would go on to win again securing a place in the 2015 West Region Futsal Invitational Tournament Finals. The girls played stupendous! they were down 1-0 in the first 5 minutes but would recover under their coach's collected effort. Coach Zuyevith gave them the pep talk they needed and elaborated on how they would have to play the following 30 minutes. The next 30 minutes were played al if they were straight from the training ground. They were sucked in to tackles and took more shots than they do at practice. Once the final whistle blew the Palms girls would proceed to lift the West Region Championship trophy after winning 2-1.
The Girls and Coach Zuyevith will play again this weekend
October 31st at RFK Ambassador at 9am
representing the West Region in Semi-finals.
Good Luck Girls!!!
