U15 Forest Girls advance to the National Finals by winning the Great Lakes SYL
8/21/2005

August 15, 2005 Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Penns forest girls have had a pretty exciting year so far. The girls win the Pa West State Cup for the 2nd year in a row and then clinch a SYL Great Lake Division title in their first year in the League. The finals are played in Tampa Fla. on November 17 thru the 21st. "The Penns Forest boys that attended the SYL finals last year have been encouraging the girls telling them what a great event it was" said Dick Nese, Penns Forest Chairmen, "I'm glad these girls will get the chance to experience it for themselves, They deserve it, they played the entire season focused on a goal and achieved it. We are very proud of all of them and we are sure they will represent us well against the best competition in the Country."

It was no easy task winning this division with some of the best girls’ team in the country involved. Wins over Nationally ranked teams Like Cleveland International and Chicago Sockers showed our girls are on a level of every elite team in the Country. The championship was close. The Penns Forest Girls, by the better goal differential, (a plus 24) win the bracket over the Cleveland Internationals that posted the same win loss record. "This was a little strange for us. We are used to playing in tournaments and getting a result in a weekend. This was a test of endurance as much as ability" said Head Coach Rege Schugart. The Girls will get some well deserved rest for awhile but get right back to training for the trip to Tampa In November. The girls are looking forward to the trip. They will miss some school and miss some of the winter but I’m told they will get over this hardship. The SYL Finals are recognized as a National ODP event and is a legal absence from school.

Good Luck Girls! Hope to see you on the highlight show on Fox Sportsworld!Click for Larger image

Penns Forest Opens SYL Season in Toledo..
5/15/2005

Brice Lott explodes for 3 goals and 1 assit as he leads the 17 boys to a 4-1 victory. the 1st of what they hope will be the first step to a return trip to the SYL National finals in tampa Fla. in November. Jarrod Smeltzer finished the scoring with 2 assits by Steve Nese and one by new comer Phil Knuttle.

The 16 girls where tested by a Toledo Slayers first year SYL team but defensively shut down the opposition. Toledo held the potent offense as long they could until Jonnah Handra assisted Jill "jiggs" Miller and struck the first home. 2nd Goal by Whittney Warmus ended any chance for a Toledo come back.

The 19 boys 3 games in 2 days took a toll as they fell 0-3.
