The U16B HEAT played in their first Beach FC tournament on Columbus Day weekend.  Saturday started off under cloudy skies with a hard fought game tied 0-0 at the half against Chesterfield United.  HEAT fought back to win 2-0. 

Rain set in before the second game and a tired and wet team set out to play Loudoun Soccer losing 0-4, putting HEAT in second place in Bracket #2.  This meant that the HEAT would advance to the semi-finals on Sunday against the first place team from Bracket #1 with the winner playing in the finals.

Sunday brought cool weather and sunny skies for the semi-final match against FYSA Force.  Heat won 2-0 to find themselves playing against Loudoun Soccer.   Both teams’ coaches agreed after the game that it was a hard fought match ending in a 1-2 loss placing HEAT as the Finalists, Loudoun as Champions. 

Congratulations to the HEAT coached by Susan Murrell, Louis Stringer and Lucas Rizzo.  Great job guys - you wear that ODSC Blue proudly!!
