Strikers Off To a Strong Start in ECNL Competition

MYS was proud to be selected for the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) this year. Although new to the league, the Strikers are off to a very impressive start, with a 4 - 1 - 0 record thus far. They have outscored their opponents 13 - 3, and half their victories have been by 5 goals or more.

Having had a lighter schedule thus far (to accommodate some girls who play high school soccer in the fall), the Strikers schedule heats up now with trips to Ohio, Florida and San Antonio in the next few months. Although nearly every player is already committed to college, the training and games are just as important this year as the girls continue to prepare for college soccer, and work to earn a trip to ECNL Nationals in Chicago in June 2012.

The Strikers are consistently ranked among the top teams in Virginia and Region 1 by Gotsoccer, Mathman, National Soccer Ranking and Soccer In College.

McLean ECNL Strikers, the 2010 Virginia State Cup & Region 1 Champions and USYS National Finalists, are currently seeking impact players for the Fall 2011-Spring 2012 ECNL season. Interested players are encouraged to contact Mollie Maresco , Manager, Maresco@aol.com, (703) 772-2828 .

For more information about individual Strikers please see the team roster or download a copy of the team's brochure.

USYS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES SILVER MEDALISTS

The McLean MPS Strikers U16G, coached by Clyde Watson and German Peri, represented Virginia and Region 1 at the USYS National Championships July 20-25 in Overland Park, Kansas. The Strikers won the VYSA State Cup for the first time in 2010 having been finalists in 2009 and Semi-finalists twice in the past. They then went undefeated at the Region 1 Championships in Barboursville, WV, playing the state champions from NJ, Pennsylvania East, Maine, and Massachusetts, to earn a spot at the National Championship tournament. At Nationals the Strikers compiled a 2-1 record in preliminary play losing their first match to Colorado Rush Nike 2-1, then defeating NASA 12 Elite II (GA) 1-0 and Minnesota Thunder Academy 94 Blue 1-0 to make the final. The Strikers met the undefeated Region 3 Champion Solar 94 Red (TX) in the championship game. It was an exciting and competitive match with the Strikers getting some early chances on goal and their share of possession throughout. Solar 94 Red scored in the 33^rd minute to go ahead. Late in the second half the Strikers pushed numbers forward to try and find the equalizer but Solar held on for the win. McLean Soccer is proud to congratulate the Strikers on being the 2010 USYS National Championship Series Finalist.

McLean MPS Strikers U16G Win Region 1 Championship

07/07/2010, 9:38am (EST)

By Web Admin

The McLean MPS Strikers U16G, coached by Clyde Watson and German Peri, won the Region 1 Championship in Barboursville, WV on July 6, 2010. The Strikers were undefeated in 5 games tying PDA Charge (NJ) 1-1, and defeating FC Pennsylvania Strikers (PA-E) 3-1, and Blackbear United FC (ME) 2-0 in preliminary games. The Strikers met the returning 2009 Region 1 Finalists FC Stars of Massachusetts (MA) in a competitive, grueling semi-final which would require 30 minutes of extra time and shots from the penalty mark to get the Strikers through to the finals. The Strikers' final opponent, a confident Buffalo Soccer Academy Invaders (NY-W), entered the final with a 4-0 tournament record. The Strikers emerged Champions of Region 1 with a 2-0 win over the Invaders. The Strikers will represent Virginia and Region 1 in the USYS National Championships July 20-25 in Overland Park, Kansas.
