Supreme Slammers
The nationally-ranked Newport Beach Slammers won the San Diego
Surf Girls Cup IX, a Nike-sponsored event during Thanksgiving weekend
that featured teams from Texas, Arizona with Northern and Southern
California.
The girls under-11 team, ranked third in the state and 18th
nationally, went 3-0-2 in pool play, including a 3-0 semifinal win
over Dallas Inter. Newport outscored its opponents, 7-1, in five
tournament games.
Center-midfielder Channing Press’ goal off a corner kick was the
only goal of the game as the Slammers beat the San Diego Surf White,
1-0, for the title.
The Slammers will travel to Arizona in January to face teams from
New Mexico, Texas, Arizona and Northern California in preparation for
the State Cup, in February.
