FC Copa Sends Four Teams to NJ Cup Final Four!
posted 5/13/2013 by FCCopa
FC Copa was well represented at this past weekends semi finals, and finals of the US Club New Jersey Cup. The U16B Juniors, U18G Real, U13G Milan, and U12G Roma all went down to Mercer County Park in form, and in search of for the cup.

The action began Saturday with the U16B Juniors opening up against an Upper Freehold NJ Strikers side that have rivaled each other for several years. At the time, Upper Freehold was the #2 ranked team in New Jersey, with the Juniors coming in ranked #4. The Juniors, confident, jumped out to an early two goal lead, controlling possession, and dictating the tempo of the game. Two second half corner kicks, including one with less than a minute on the clock, got the Strikers back into the game, tied at 2 and heading in to over time. With very little action in the two overtime periods, the game went into penalties. The first Freehold shooter missed, and that was the only window FC Copa needed, as they knocked in their next 5 shots, securing a bid to the finals.

In the finals FC Copa met PDA who came into the match ranked #5 in the state, one spot below the Juniors. Evenly matched through out, FC Copa was able to grab the final goal, winning the contest, and championship by way of a 3-2 margin. It was a great moment for the Juniors as they jubilantly celebrated their state title. The win moved the Juniors up to the #1 ranked team in the State of New Jersey, #4 ranked in Region 1, and #9 ranked Nationally. It is an extremely proud moment for FC Copa, and we couldn’t be happier for the Juniors. Great job boys!

The U18G Real went down to Mercer County Park already having a US Club National Title under their belt. The Real, decimated by injuries took on local rival Jersey United Spartans in their semi final match. Like the Juniors, the Real dictated the tempo and possession of the game, but found themselves even at 2 goals a piece after regulation and overtime. Penalties seemed to favor FC Copa on that Saturday in West Windsor, as the Real calmly advanced to the finals. In the finals they met a strong NJ Wildcats Lady Strikers team who is Ranked #1 in the state, and #4 in the country. Unfortunately, the Real ran out of gas, and dropped the final 1-0 to a deserving NJ Wildcats team. It was a great run for the Real, who still have an opportunity to defend their US Club National Title this summer.

Moving into Sunday morning, it was the Milan, and Roma’s turn to make their run at a tile.

After beating PDA Atletica in the quarter finals, the #5 ranked FC Copa Milan took on #9 ranked PDA Pride in the semi final of the U13G New Jersey Cup. It was a poor first half performance for the Milan who conceded four goals and went into halftime searching for the answer to their troubles. Well, they found that answer, and responded with a whopping five second half goals, defeating PDA Pride 5-4! It was an unbelievable second half for the Milan. Rarely at such a high level of competition can a team overcome a deficit that large, and they did with great poise and urgency. In the finals FC Copa met another PDA side for the third straight game. This time it was the #11 ranked Gunners. Copa and PDA went into half time tied 2-2 evenly matched, and equally hungry for a title. The second half was disappointing for the Milan, as they had their opportunities, but just couldn’t edge the Gunners. The final ended 4-2 in favor of PDA, keeping true to the old adage “the third times a charm”. FC Copa couldn’t be happier with the body of work the Milan put in in the NJ Cup, and know they will come back stronger and hungrier. Great work ladies, and keep your heads high.

The #21 ranked FC Copa Roma strung together a nice series of victories leading into the U12G New Jersey Cup semi finals. The Roma previously had defeated NJ Force, 3-2, and Upper Freehold, 1-0. In the semi finals the Roma matched up against #12 ranked Middletown SC. The Fusion from Middletown was a strong side, and defeated the Roma, en route to eventually winning the New Jersey Cup. The Roma battled, but just couldn’t find their rhythm against the athletic Middletown girls. The Roma have a bright future ahead of them, and are on the right path to becoming one of the top teams in their age group. Great job girls!

FC Copa teams continue to have a successful Spring kickoff!
posted 4/8/2013 by FC Copa
FC Copa Milan U13G and FC Copa Celeste U14G have great showing at 2013 PDA Spring Kickoff!

The U13 Girls FC Copa Milan (#7 NJ) continued their very successful spring by making it to the Finals of the highly competitive PDA Girls Spring Kickoff April 6th and 7th. As Saturday’s games concluded the Milan found themselves a-top the table winning their first two matches. The Milan won game one over a strong Huntingdon Valley Freedom side from Pennsylvania 2-0, then knocked off Thistle FC by way of a 3-1 final score. Entering Sunday, the Milan had needed only one goal, win or lose, to wrap up a bid to the finals, in a close one vs ISA Elite, the match ended 2-1. Unfortunately the great run ended there for the Milan who lost in PKs in a hard fought final, to the #2 ranked team in Pennsylvania West, Allegheny Force FC.

The U14 Girls FC Copa Celeste (#7 NJ) like the Milan also continued their stellar spring campaign by reaching the Semi-Finals of the PDA Girls Spring Kick Off.  They began pool play by defeating the #8 ranked team in New Jersey Holmdel FC 1-0, then doubled their win total by way of a 3-0 win over World Class FC from New York. The Celeste controlled both games out possessing and out working their opponents. On Sunday, the Celeste had a tall task ahead of them, going up against Massachusetts #2 ranked team Aztec Soccer Kodiat. The teams were evenly matched throughout, which the scoreboard confirmed, as the game finished tied, 1-1. Aztec advanced on to the final instead of the Celeste due to a tiebreaker differential, and they went on to win the championship. The Celeste ladies finished with a +4 goal differential and no losses the entire weekend.

Overall it was a tremendous weekend of soccer for the Milan, Celeste, and FC Copa at the PDA Spring Kickoff. Great job ladies, keep up the good work!

A great showing again for the Atletico who are in their first season together, and have won or reached the finals in each of their last two tournaments.
