Congratulations to the PSA U12C2 Boys "Black Knights" who won the championship at the recent Blaine Break-out Tournament May 3 & 4th at the Blaine Sports Complex.  They started out the tournament with 2 shut-outs on Saturday and another Sunday morning to quality for the championship round. 
   Game #1 was vs. the Forest Lake Rangers and the Black Knights won 3-0 with strong offense and a tight defense.  Game #2 was vs. BSC Blue Devils and PSA easily won 6-0.  Game #3 was vs. St. Croix Revolution and the boys again shut out the opposition to qualify for the championship round with a 4-0 victory. 
   After 3 straight shut outs the Black Knights played for the championship title against the bracket 2 winners, the St. Louis Park Orioles who were also undefeated in their division.  The Knights pull ahead early and were at 1-0 at halftime and it quickly becomes 4-0 in the Knights favor.
   The end results were a win for the championship of 4-2.
   The Black Knights scored 17 goals in this tournament and only let in 2 for.  Congratulations to and pictured are:  (back row) Coach Klucas, Jake, Goalie Michael, James, Ben, Josh, Ryan, Miguel, Coach Holguin, (front row) Joey, Aric, Goalie Cole, Jannik and Eric.

Congratulations to the Strikers, who kicked off their 2008 campaign with the Midwest Soccer Challenge tournament held April 18th through April 20th near Stillwater , MN .  Their initial match was played against a tough Cottage Grove team in frigid, windy and wet conditions.  Amy L. opened the scoring but Cottage Grove answered with a second half marker to complete the 1-1 tie.  PSA looked to be in mid-season form against Woodbury in game two.  Their dominating performance resulted in a 1-0 victory by virtue of Brittany S's first goal as a Striker.  The Championship game promised to be a stern test against the C1 Tonka United club.  PSA struck first with a rebound goal from Allie F.  Tonka fought back to tie the game with a goal in the 62nd minute and sent the game to overtime.  After a scoreless first overtime period, Tonka scored the eventual game winner on a high arching shot that barely eluded keeper Emma B. after a near spectacular save.  Congratulations to the Strikers on a great tournament!
