PSC U14 Tornados Win In N.C.

The Pasadena Soccer Club U14 Tornados girls soccer team traveled to Southport, N.C. to take part in the Columbus Day Coastal Shootout, where they won the championship game on penalties playing up in the U15 bracket.

The team of Isabella Will, Alexis Cook, Sarah Mcwilliams, Kayley Paugh, Rori Campbell, Nora Stankard, Fiona Panzer, Nia Howell, Kelsie Payne, Kaylee Hamilton, Veronica Lowry, Jessica Julian, Alexis White, Megan Strevig, Ava Cicchetti and Lindsay Cavey made its coaches proud.

“After facing the adversity of playing older girls, short rest and losing players to injury; to respond the way these girls did is absolutely remarkable,” said head coach Sam Campbell, who coaches the Tornados with Michael Paugh. “They showed a tremendous amount of heart, and to close back-to-back games on penalty kicks making 11 of 12 was the highlight of my coaching career.”
