2006/2007 Tourney Spring recap:
Slow Starts/Great finishes by both the 2006 and 2007 Fury teams this Spring.
2007:
The 2007 team, adjusting to several new players this year, started slow missing the medal rounds in the first tourney's with a 2-4 record. The team starting clicking chemistry wise going undefeated (7 wins, 0 losses, 2 ties) the rest of the Spring winning the Metro Alliance Spring Cup, Premier Cup and unofficially the Gateway Memorial Classic (first place when weather cancelled the tourney after 2 games).
2006:
The 2006 team, dealing with several injuries the first month of Spring play that could not be overcome, started 1-4. Once the team got healthy, posting a 14-1-1 the rest of the season starting with a 2nd in the Aydin Gonulsen Memorial Tournament (Springfield, Ill) losing 2-1 to a U20 team in the final. The team went on to win 3 straight tourney's including the Nike Blue Chip Showcase (Cincinnati), Mo Rush Mothers Day Tourney (STL) and closing the season going 4-0 in Mid State Cup (Decatur, Ill) which included 3 shutouts,
Great turnaround by both teams. Congratulations to both players and coaches and also hoping to have everyone back next year to continue this success!
