PWSI Courage '95 Gold Wins Premier League Championship!!
 |
| Pictured L - R: GK Arianna Reichardt, 2nd row Rachel Marion, Ashley Skertic, Annah Lindberg, Niomi Serrano, Colleen Gawkins, Jewel Christian, Melanie Lytle, 3rd row - Coach Chris Jones, Thyla Peterson, Bertha Martinez, Jessica Leonard, Jordan Kestel, Emily Lung, Cassidy Rowell, Siobhan O'Toole & Asst. Coach Steve Huffman The ‘95 Gold team rose above adversity to capture the Premier League crown for U15 girls. Saturday’s match was against a tough World Class Soccer Team from New York. Defender Jordan Kestel scored first on a long direct kick perfectly placed. Later in the first half, Niomi Serrano passed the ball to Melanie Lytle who fired a rocket past the keeper. World Class refused to give up and tied the score in the 2nd half. The final goal was put in the net by Jewel Christian on an assist from Annah Lindberg. The 3-2 victory allowed the Courage Gold to proceed to the Final on Sunday against Match Fit Chelsea from New Jersey. It was a battle of the unbeaten Premier League North and South Champions. In the first half, Ashley Skertic placed a corner kick into the box and Annah Lindberg headed the ball into the net. Both teams continued to battle until the final whistle, but the strong defensive play and goalkeeping prevented any other goals. Despite injuries and fatigue from busy high school soccer schedules, Courage Gold under the leadership of Coach Chris Jones dug deep, kept the focus on team, and found the collective heart and will to achieve a goal set back in the Fall. This Championship qualifies the team to compete against the Region 1 state champions in late June for an opportunity to qualify for the National Championship. The PWSI Courage ‘95 Gold would like to thank PWSI for their support and encouragement. |

Gold Takes Shot at Region I Title
Article by Dave Utnik in News & Messenger on 4/19/2011
"Courage to battle for top spot - Face North Division runner-up CFC in Region I championships in Delaware."
"'Every game was approached with a mindset of win or go home,' goalie Arianna Reichardt said. 'From the goalie to the forwards, everyone is expected to perform at a high caliber.'"
"An undefeated record pretty much confirms that."
"Seven different players - Annah Lindberg, Colleen Gawkins, Emily Lung, Jewel Christian, Jessica Leonard, Jordan Kestel, and Niomi Serrano - scored at least one goal during league play."
"'The players were very excited to be accepted into the Region I Premier League and immediately set a goal to win first place,' Courage coach Chris Jones said. 'This team has great chemistry, athleticism, and tremendous talent.'"
"'We knew we wanted to make it to regionals,' (Thyla) Peterson said."

Christian, Lindberg, Peterson, and Skertic Headed to National ODP Camp
Jewel Christian, Annah Lindberg, Thyla Peterson, and Ashley Skertic are headed to the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida to participate in the Super Y League Olympic Development Program (ODP) National Camp. Each nominated player was identified as one of the top 2% of players in their age group from the 2010 Super Y season while playing on the U14 Northern Virginia Majestic team. The Majestics became repeat USL Super Y North American Champions last November. The camp will be directed by Peter Mellor, U.S. National Technical Director.
This is the 2nd time Annah Lindberg has been selected to the National Camp. Last Spring, Lindberg's excellent play earned her a berth on the National Team Pool.
Congratulations, and good luck Jewel, Annah, Thyla and Ashley!

Northern Virginia Repeats as U14 North American Champions
Northern Virginia Repeats as U14 North American Champions
Majestics Top Chicago Fire in Penalty Kicks, Jordan Kestel Named MVP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taken from USLSoccer.com
After being 30 seconds away from elimination during group play two days earlier, capturing their second consecutive Super Y-League North American Finals title was especially sweet for the Northern Virginia Majestics. The Majestics needed penalty kicks to get the job done for the second consecutive day, defeating the Chicago Fire Juniors by a 5-4 margin following a scoreless tie.
Central defender Jordan Kestel produced the winning kick in the sixth round, and even that produced its own level of drama as Kestel’s high shot hit the crossbar, bounced straight down and then back up off the crossbar and into the net. It forced Kestel’s teammates, primed to rush the field to celebrate, to do a studder-step on the sidelines before piling on their team MVP.
"Obviously you’ve got to be proud of the girls," Majestics Head Coach Chris Jones said. "Two days in a row penalty kicks and all the players came up huge."
Jones singled out the play of keeper Arianna Reichardt, who for the second day in a row made a huge stop after one of her teammates had missed. It was Reichardt’s save on the Chicago Fire’s sixth shooter that set up Kestel’s heroics. (Photo courtesy of Gerald Barnhart)

U14 Majestics Edge Freedom to Advance into Championship
U14 Majestics Edge Freedom to Advance into Championship
Goalkeeper Ari Reichardt Saves Three Before Scoring Winning Penalty Kick
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After ninety grueling minutes and an additional twenty of overtime, the U14 Northern Virginia Majestics and Washington Freedom faced penalty kicks to resolve the scoreless morning in the Super Y-League North American Championship semifinal match Monday morning in Tampa, Florida. Both sides showed their grit and resilience by remaining deadlocked after ten penalty kicks each, but Northern Virginia goalkeeper Ari Reichardt finally decided the stalemate in dramatic fashion with a low blast untouched into the right corner.
Fresh off a dramatic victory the night before, the Majestics squared off against a Freedom squad filled with familiar faces from the Northern Virginia and DC metro area. Each side launched numerous aggressive attacks forward, only to find their efforts thwarted by sturdy defensive lines throughout the match and overtime. Although scoring opportunities were rare, each squad exhibited quality play through the midfield to no avail.
As fatigue became apparent on the faces and wobbly knees of the players, the referee’s whistle sounded to end the second overtime period and the start of penalty kick tie-breakers. The initial round of five kicks concluded with an athletic save from each keeper, but could not produce a decision. Five rounds later, Reichardt found herself in an unusual position, lining up to shoot the ball rather than deflect a penalty kick. With twelve yards and a solid Washington keeper separating herself and a victory for her team, Reichardt calmly strode to penalty spot and struck true to launch the ecstatic Majestics into the title match.
The U14 Majestics face a rematch with the Chicago Fire Junior to defend their North American title earned in 2009. Northern Virginia and Chicago met in the group rounds, with the Majestics emerging victorious on a last minute own goal to win.
NVFC, comprised of the Northern Virginia Royals (male), Northern Virginia Majestics (female), and NOVA FC (male and female) USL teams, is also represented by thirty-three players in the previous SYL ODP Camp pool announced last February. Thirty-two players from the Royals, Majestics, and NOVA FC Super Y-League programs comprised Northern Virginia’s representation the previous year.
The USL North American Finals will be held in Tampa, Florida, and is scheduled to run from November 19th through November 23rd. A total of sixteen teams will clash at every age level in the boys Super Y-League’s U13-U17 divisions. On the girls side, twelve teams will meet from each of the five age divisions. The 2010 version of the Super Y-League finals is the greatest representative of elite youth talent in North America now that the league encompasses nine regions across the United States and Canada.

U13 Majestics Claim the 2009 North American Super-Y League (SYL) Title
From novasc.org
The U13 Majestics Super Y League team made up of the players from the NVSC Jr. Majestics 95 Gold travel team swept the competition and clenched the Super Y-League (SYL) North American Championship title at Ed Radice Soccer Complex in Tampa, Florida.
The U13 Majestics capped a perfect (12-0-0) 2009 Super Y league season with 35 goals for and just 1 goal against. The team’s record captured the South East Region and classified the Northern Virginia Majestics as the top seed going into the North American Championship Tournament.
The 2009 season centered on a well balanced team starting with a “Solid Wall” Defense (Goalie- Arianna Reichardt, Defensive Backs- Brianna Aldo, Olivia DuPont, Jordan Kestel, Bertha Martinez and Siobahn O’Toole), a “Controlling” Mid-Field (Maggie Chapman, Jessica Leonard, Ashley Skertic and Cassidy Rowell) and “Fast & Furious” Forwards (Jewel Christian, Dixie Johnson, Annah Lindberg and Thyla Peterson).
The U13 Majestics took their “shut them down and attack” formula into the North American National Super Y League Tournament and out classed their competition. Through teamwork and communication, they shut out their preliminary competition (3-0-0) with 8 goals for and 0 against. The Defensive Wall frustrated their opponents’ scoreless advances allowing the Midfielders to press the ball goal-ward to the “ever attacking” and focused Forwards. The team extended this formula into the semi-finals defeating Coastal FC (3–0).
The Championship game against Rage SC started quickly with the defense and midfielders controlling the ball and generating an early strike by Jewel Christian. The Defense kept the Rage out of their goal box for most of the game and a pair of goals from Annah Lindberg proved enough to capture the 2009 North American Championship (3-1). Lindberg’s efforts won her the SYL Tournament MVP. Coach Chris Jones, his first national title, praised the team's efforts, "Their teamwork and motivation lead to a classy tournament win."
The four-day tournament featured the top SYL clubs in the United States and Canada. The North American tournament title capped a perfect 17-0-0 season for Northern Virginia in the squad’s first SYL season.
Super-Y enhances the year round development of NVSC players and provides the opportunity to play Top Rated Nationally ranked teams. Teams train and compete over the summer season for the North American Finals held in November.
