Congratulations to the 99G for their silver medal placing at the 33rd annual US Futsal National Tournament. The team finished 3&1 on the weekend with their only loss coming in the final. The team consisted of all Barbarian Newcomers, Cady, Alexis; Copich, Ella; Coufal, Sarah; Dorsch, Olivia; Godley-Fisher, Marina; Jolayemi, Tiffany and the guest player on loan from the Legends of San Jose, Gabriela Gonzalez.
Pool play brought the team closer together but in the end, the lack of finishing and bench depth contributed to the team’s second place finish.
This year also marked the return of Ella Copich to the ranks of the Barbarian FC giving strength to our one goal, Once a Barbarian always a Barbarian.
In the meantime, our 99B fought to overcome and persevered to be unified in their ability to play futsal and obtained a victory in their last game. Members consisted of Borek, Brandon; Cook, Tanner; Fedora, Nik; Hollet, Conner; Kimmich, Matt; Marshall, Jeremy; Meshanko, AJ; Morgan, Nathan; Zupanc, Dylan.
A special shout-out to our special live stream commentators, 08B Barbarian FC members, Mason Bizyak and Adam Kuchera whose in-depth play-by-play analysis in many ways highlighted the effort on their club members’ performance.
