2008 NJYS National Championship Quarterfinalist!
The Medford Strikers Xplosion is a competitive U-17 Girls soccer team located in Medford, New Jersey. The team is currently comprised of girls from Marlton, Lumberton, Voorhees, Shamong, Hamilton, Blackwood, Yardville, Manahawkin and Haddon Heights, playing out of the Medford Strikers Soccer Club. They are coached and trained by James Galanis and the staff of Universal Soccer Academy, and assisted by Steve Graham. The Xplosion will be competing in showcase and other competitive tournaments throughout the year, designed to promote exposure for college-bound players, as well as participating in spring MAPS league play, the NJYS National Championship series and US Club State Cup.

Xplosion Undefeated At Kirkwood Girls College Showcase!
The Xplosion continued their winning way by going undefeated at the Kirkwood Girls College Showcase held November 28-29 in New Castle, Delaware. The weather was much better than the week before and so was the college coach attendance. The team had wins over the South Jersey Banshees 2-0, SAC Premier Fury 2-1, Crofton Blast 1-0 and Pearls Pythons 2-1. The girls will get a well deserved rest for the month of December before they resume their training indoors in January.

Xplosion Show Well At WAGS Tournament!
Xplosion Finalists at Score Showcase at Greensboro
The Xplosion headed down to Greensboro, North Carolina to participate in the Showcase at Greensboro, formerly known as Score at the Shore North. This invitational showcase has a strong history of attracting top teams as well as hundreds of college coaches and recruiters each year. This year proved to be no different as the Xplosion was placed in the H bracket for round robin play along with the Michigan Hawks Red (Mi.), D'Feeters 92 (Tx.) and Loudon 91 Red (Va.), all ranked teams in their respective states. With many college coaches in attendance throughout the weekend, the Xplosion finished up round robin play with a 1-2 record. Their 1-goal losses helped propel them to the Red Championship bracket where they were seeded 14 out of 16 teams. The lower seeding seemed to motivate the girls and they proceeded to knock out their next 3 higher-seeded opponents to face the nationally-ranked CASL Spartan Elite (NC) in the championship game. While CASL dominated much of the play, the Xplosion held their ground and made a few runs of their own. Unfortunately CASL was able to score with 6 minutes remaining in the game and their defense held the Xplosion in their own end. Coach Dino did a phenomenal job with the girls and the whole Xplosion family had a great time!

Xplosion Compete At YMS Epic Tournament
With an all-expense paid trip for 20 to the Gothia Cup in Sweden on the line, the Xplosion competed in the YMS Epic Tournament on May 10-11 in Yardley, Pennsylvania. Playing their first game against the #38 Nationally-ranked home team YMS Comets, the girls lost in a heartbreaker 2-1. They roared back in their second game, defeating the RSC Raiders 5-0. In the consolation game on Sunday, the girls found themselves playing against a familiar foe- Cherry Hill Cyclones who had defeated them in the tournament final last year. After a sluggish first half, the girls woke up in the second and defeated the Cyclones 2-0. While Sweden in July wasn't meant to be this year, the Xplosion can console themselves with the fact that they've just been accepted to The Score Showcase at Greensboro that same month!
