Final 4 Bracket
Crossroads of America College Showcase - CHAMPIONS!
4/20/09: The Springfield Fire went 3-0 at the Crossroads of America College Showcase to claim 1st place out of 24 teams. The tournament included our first international match-up (Windsor FC, Ontario, Canada) and a tough win over the #6 ranked team from Ohio. Way to go team!!
PUMA Champions Cup
4/6/09: The Fire went undefeated at the PUMA Champions Cup with two wins and a tie - good enough to finish first in the pool and advance to the semi-finals. The tourney was then canceled due to weather. The wins included a great come-from-behind 4-2 win over Croatia and a slim 1-0 win over BTSC on a goal in the first 30 seconds of the game. Congratulations Fire!
