The Coppa Arsenal started the 2008 Fall season by making the finals of the Spirit United Kick-off Classic.  They played three very good teams (Reading Rage 2-2 tie, NJSA 3-2 win, and Baltimore Bays 4-2 win) in route to playing Lehigh Valley in the Finals.  Although they lost 3-0 in the finals to Lehigh Valley the boys played well in their Coppa debut. 

   

The team followed up the good play at the Spirit United tournament by going 4-0 and winning the Ross-Haney Tournament.  

     

The boys continued their strong tournament play at the YMS Columbus Cup by going 2-1.  Although they did not win their bracket and advance to the Semi-finals they beat 2 teams ranked in the top 50 in the Nation in the Manhattan Kickers (#45) 1-0 and Century United (#43) 2-0 and lost to Livingston who are ranked #10 in the Nation.
