The MPS Power completed the 2008 CASL Shootout undefeated, with a 2-0-1 record.  The Power competed against strong sides from Massachusetts (FC Stars, the #1 team from Massachusetts), North Carolina (CASL White, a 2007 North Carolina state cup semi-finalist) and Michigan Rush Nike (the #2 team from Michigan and Michigan's 2007 state cup semi-finalist).  Running this gauntlet, the Power went 2-0-1, drawing even (2-2) with the Massachusetts FC Stars in the first match of the tournament.  Both teams ended the group play undefeated, and the FC Stars advanced out of the group on a one-goal tie breaker.  Thereafter, the FC Stars defeated the Herndon Elite and the #1 team in North Carolina, the Twin City Lady Twins, to claim the CASL Shootout championship. 

The Power look forward to meeting up with the FC Stars and all the CASL tournament competitors in the future for another 70 minutes of fantastic soccer.  Thanks for a fantastic weekend, CASL!

The Washington Freedom U13 girls Super Y team will travel to Tampa, Florida in late November to compete for the USL Super Y North American Championship.  Among the player pool selected by the Freedom, there will be a healthy contingent of MPS Power players.  The Freedom team is co-coached by Jamil Faryadi, the Power's Head Coach.  Competing with the Freedom will be 11 other teams, covering all of the nation's soccer hotbeds.  Good luck Freedom, and good luck Power!
