Lake Zurich, IL - Crossfire Premier '91 McCormick went 2-2 and took 7th place at the second annual Coast2Coast classic held this past weekend in the suburbs of Chicago, IL. Each of the four games were great contests. Crossfire took the opener against the Lady Warriors from Ohio, 2-1. In the second game, Crossfire dropped a close one to Illinois based CIS Knockouts 0-1. Crossfire pressured the entire way and enjoyed a greater than 5-1 shots on goal ratio but couldn't find the back of the net. In the third game, Crossfire continued to dominate but unfortunately continued to have difficulties converting scoring opportunities, losing 1-2 to Busch from Missouri. In their final contest, Crossfire started connecting on their strikes and came away with a 3-1 victory over the Southern California Enforcers.
Most games in this weekend blitz of a tournament were decided by a goal - many in overtime or shootouts. Congratulations, girls, for continuing to improve and continuing to learn by competing at the top levels in the country!
