Coach Stuart Peek said, "The tournament is an extremely tough tournament to be accepted into, and for the second year, the team played in the Premier level, in this level most of the players on teams are being recruited by Division One Colleges."

In the first game against WHYFC from Carolina, the team came out extremely strong. The first half was an even affair, with FCX being 1-0 up at half time off a Kayla Schutter goal. The second half, FCX came out even stronger, and scored 6 unanswered goals, including a hatrick from Jill Steinbrink, and two from Maesyn Poidomani, as well as Schutter scoring her second. Coach Peek said, "Sometimes you have games where every play is a goal, this game was that game, it was an even contest for most of the game, the scoreline obviously does not reflect that, but we scored some world class goals today."

 

In the second game, the team faced Ohio Classic Eagles, who just won their State Cup and are an MRL Premier 1 team. The game started even, with both teams creating chances. FCX had two close attempts before Eagles capitalized on two defensive errors and went in to halftime with a 2-0 lead. FCX continued to press, and unlike the day before, created lots of chances, but could not get the ball in the net, 14 corners in the second half alone. Eagles scored another goal off of a missed clearance and FCX did get one eventually, but the final score ended 4-1. Coach Peek said, "We did not deserve to win, although we created more chances, the other team out willed us, and even though they created half as many chances as we did, they capitalized on them."

The third game was against Texas Spirit FC. The FCX team was determined to close out with a win. Coach Peek said, "One of this teams strengths is their will to achieve. They always as individuals and as a team look to do more, push more, and get outside their comfort zones to achieve."

 

The game started with FCX dominating in the physical play, the speed of play, and the style of play. FCX created a handful of chances and unlike the game against the Eagles, scored back to back goals from corners. Kayla Keck scored two world class headers, unstoppable. Coach Peek said, "Kaylas timing, strength and ability to finish with power, makes her hard to deal with from any set piece." FCX did not settle for the two goals, and Anna Brodjian scored a rebound goal, from great approach play from Jill Steinbrink. At half time, the team was focused, and they were ready straight off of the kick off, Anna Brodjian adding her second of the game, with a great placed one touch shot from a Sophia Spinell cross. Brodjian then completed her hatrick, beating 3 defenders off the dribble and hitting an unstoppable shot form 16 yards out. Maesyn Poidomani scored the sixth, with an excellent individual run, and a rocket shot from 18 yards out, Texas pulled one back towards end of game, FCX winning 6-1.

Coach Peek said, "Apart from the 15 minutes of bad play against Eagles that cost us that game, the girls had a first class weekend. The best thing about this team is the level they self impose on themselves, they strive for better, they push each-other, and they play hard all the time. Their first reaction after the last game, was not to celebrate, but to set their targets for the upcoming Disney Showcase they will be attending. They are a tough team, and I am extremely proud of their progression over the last 2 seasons."
