BU8 Finalists Santa Barbara Tournament

The new U8 Apex SC Boys 99 team were finalists in the Santa Barbara Spring Cup. This was the team’s first soccer tournament together as Apex SC players.

The team’s success can be credited to the entire team as it was a true team effort with goals scored by 6 different players. The defense and mid field were the key components in the teams game plan and they beat the Santa Barbara Soccer Club in the first game 4-0 and tied the Real So Cal team in a hard fought second game 1-1 advancing them into the semi-final game on Sunday. On Sunday the team continued their success defeating the Real California FC team 4-1 to advance to the championship game. Although the boys played hard and worked incredibly well together, they lost the last game 1-4. Considering this is the very first tournament played together, we were thrilled with the outcome. The majority of the Apex SC boys are from the Conejo Valley in 1st and 2nd grade.

Congratulation to all the players, coaches and families!
