2008 Jefferson Cup Champions! Congrats to the HSC Kixx U10 Girls. A superb weekend of soccer! And a tremendous display of teamwork - eight different girls contributing to the weekend scoring, rock solid defense allowing only three goals all weekend, midfielders and forwards moving the ball beautifully down the field.  The girls dug deep within themselves in the Championship Game after going down 3-2 to come back & score four quick goals to win 6-3. Mia Hamm once said, "I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion."  The girls proved Mia correct in this tournament that is ranked 5th in the nation for girls.  Way to go KIXX! The KIXX would also like to congratulate the boys U10 Phantoms for their 2008 Jefferson Cup Championship!

U-15 HSC Fire - CPYSC Champions.  The Fire girls were ready to travel to Maryland this season and pursue new competition only to be disappointed with the cancellation of the tournament.  Scrambling to find a replacement, they decide to stay close and enter the Campbelltown-Palmyra Soccer Blast.  The Fire was asked to fill a position in the top Bracket of three and accepted the challenge.  The bracket consisted of 2 U16 teams and 3 U-15 teams that they recently played in league games.  They stepped up to the challenge and came out on top.  With a disappointing, but well played, loss to Penn United in the first game 4-2.  The Fire has been the only team to score any goals against this team.  They came back in the second game to battle the U-16 Lititz team and pulled out a phenomenal 4-1 win.  Going into a semi final, in 2nd place, they were up against the 1st place U-16 Ephrata team. The game ended in a 1-1 tie.  It then moved on to penalty kicks where our #1 goalie, Mirah Smith, again steps up and does a fantastic job!!!  The Fire won the tie breaker by two goals thanks to Mirah's great saves!  The final was played against HMMS rebels less than 11/2 hours later.  HMMS scores the first goal but for the Fire it's still 0-0.  The Fire comes back alive with a goal to tie it at halftime 1-1.  Wanting to walk away with the win, the Fire girls push through the second half to score 2 more goals and lock in the game 3-1.  WAY TO GO U-15 HEMPFIELD FIRE!!!!!!!

 (Jan 2007) Over the course of two weekends coach Gary Ross had the unusual honor of having three of his Hempfield Soccer Club Girls premiere teams reach the semi-finals of the Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association’s Aspiring Champion’s (Highest Level) Indoor State Cup. 

On January 6th Gary coached the Under 13 HSC Power against a group of 24 of the state’s best U-13 teams in Jessup, PA.  After beating teams from LDC United (Harrisburg), FC Revolution (Reading), Montgomery Soccer Club and Stroudsburg the girls lost a tough 1-0 game in the semi-finals against Teysa (Wayne).

On the same day at Lancaster’s Red Rose Arena the Under 9 HSC Kixx beat teams from Lower Merion and West Chester, but a 2-2 tie against eventual champion CRUSA (Council Rock) after surrendering a goal in the final seconds and a loss in the tiebreaking formula kept them from the final.

A week later on January 13th in Palmyra the Under 14 HSC Blaze beat teams from Radnor, Warminster, Wilson (Reading), and Wyoming Valley before losing a tough 2-1 semi final match to eventual champion HMMS (Harrisburg).

With the level of competition so high for premiere girls soccer programs statewide in Pennsylvania it is an honor for a coach and a club to have one team achieve such outstanding results, but to have three teams do it over the course of 7 days is indeed remarkable.   

Girls Travel and Premier teams for the Fall 2006 season had 68 wins, 25 losses and 19 ties with 4 league championships. Congrats girls!  For further information please contact Lee Kasun (Hempfield Soccer Club Girl’s Travel Director) at leekasun@msn.com or by calling 587-8855.
