CYA Fusion: Latest News

At the three quarters point of the season, and heading into the Memorial Day tournament weekend in Williamsburg, the Fusion are enjoying a three-game winning streak - all by shutouts (4-0, 1-0, 2-0). Team play is clicking, the goals have been well earned, and the defense and goaltending continues to be stellar.

 Let's hope the girls can finish the season strong!

The Fusion welcome two new players and their families to the team - Audrie and Liz.  We look forward to cheering for the girls!

At the same time we say goodbye and good luck to our twins, Megan and Katie, who are rejoining our U14 sister team, the CYA Cyclones, coached by our very own coach Rich.  We also say goodbye to Morgan and Ali, who are "retiring" from soccer to focus on volleyball and track & field, respectively.  We'll miss you!

The game schedule has been set for Spring 2011.  You can follow standings and schedules at the link below and we'll also post the game and practice schedules on this site.

Please note that actual SHOW time is 45 minutes prior to the listed GAME time. 

There are only two divisions, so technically the girls are back playing U15 Division G2.  Most of the competition is familiar though there are a few new teams.

We look forward to another fun and exciting season!

New teammate Ally tallied the first goal and Alex tapped in the 2nd.  Then Carianne made a penalty shot save and the Fusion had luck on their side to start the season with a 2-1 win over the Reston Shock.  Excellent overall team effort for their first game of the season.

 In the 2nd game of the weekend (Sunday), the Fusion jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a beautiful run by Aviana. After the SYC Xplosion tied the game,  our girls poured on pressure in the 2nd half.  Only some great goalkeeping (and a few hit crossbars) kept the Fusion from winning.  The game ended in a hard-fought 1-1 tie.

We're all excited and proud as our girls move up to Division 2 after a great season last fall.

 Go FUSION!

The Fusion captured 2nd place in Division 3 with a 1-0 win over CYA Dynamite, their 4th shutout of the season.   That will earn the girls a trophy and probably a promotion to Division 2.The winning goal was tallied by Katie with an assist from Amy, and all the girls showed great hustle and good passing all night.  Grace and Pauline had some outstanding tackles on Defense.  

The team finished with a best-ever record of 6 wins against two losses.  Coaches and parents are very proud of all our players
