Region II Soccer Tournament: Springfield SC Advances To Semi-finals Again!

Posted on by

The Springfield SC U17′s shut out Northwest Indiana FC 1-0 today, winning on a goal by Brock Ruggeri (Kickapoo HS, pictured at last years Regionals vs FC Milwaukee). When combined with the KC Wizard Juniors loss to FC Barrington by the same 0-1 score, our local boys advance from the group to reach the Region II semi-finals for the second straight year.

The team has now scored 6 goals while only giving up 1 in the tie to the Wizard Juniors yesterday.

UPDATE – Semi-Final Results and schedules
Missouri puts both U17 Boys teams into the Semi-Finals as Scott Gallagher SC, who lost in the semi-finals of the Missouri State Cup but advanced with a Midwest Regional League (MRL) wildcard (16 teams from 13 states qualified for Regionals). Gallagher went through on tie-breakers with a better goal differential.

Scott Gallagher sends their U13, U15, U17, U18 and U19 boys teams into the Final 4, the KC Wizards U19 Boys team qualified and St Louis SC qualified two girls teams. Chealsey Russell’s (Kickapoo/Rice) St Louis SC U18 advanced to the semi-finals, going 3-0 and outscoring their opponents 8-3 in the process. The U13 Girls team also advanced.

Region II Tourney Update – Springfield SC Win First Game

Posted on by

Good news from Rockford where the U17 boys won their opening game on Saturday 4-0 over the FC Barrington squad from Illinois making their club’s first ever visit to Regionals. Goals were scored by Ryan Partch, Bryce Collier, Ian Kennedy and Devon Newport, continuing the broad-based scoring model that has gotten them this far.

Sunday’s opponent is the KC Wizards Juniors who defeated Northwest Indiana FC by a 6-1 score, making the game the key to moving out of the group on Tuesday.

Scott Gallagher, who qualified via Midwest Regional play, tied Bangu (MN) 1-1 in their opening group game.

Two-time regional champion (2003, 2005) and 2005 national champion (Under-15 Girls), St. Louis Soccer Club Under-18 Girls defeated Javanon (KY) 2:1. I think they are playing without All-Star Chealsey Russell (Kickapoo/Rice) who was injured in the State Final last week.

Springfield SC U17 Boys Pursue Region II Title Opportunity

Posted on by

Missouri State Champions - Springfield SC U17sThe Springfield SC U17 boys team left town this morning for the long drive to Rockford, IL, site of the US Youth Soccer Midwest Regional Championships. The boys return to the tournament for the second year after winning their second straight Missouri State age group title. As a returning semi-finalist (they lost to the eventual champion Michigan Wolves in the semifinal, after going 3-0 in group play), they were seeded and drawn into a group that includes the following games:

Saturday June 21st, 2:00 pm vs IL – FC Barrington
Sunday June 22nd, 12:00 pm vs KS – KC Wizards Juniors
Monday June 23rd, 12:00 pm vs IN – Northwest Indiana FC

This is a tough draw for our boys. The first game should be the easiest, as they face FC Barrington, first time winners at the state level for their club, like our boys last year. Let’s hope they don’t surprise the way we did. The KC Wizard Juniors team includes half a dozen boys from Rockhurst HS, a perennial Missouri power in the large school class while the NWI FC club pulls from the southern boundaries of the Chicago metropolitan area.

Winners of each of the four groups (16 teams in each age group) move on to the semifinals on Tuesday with the championship Wednesday. I’ll provide updates as the week progresses.

Good luck boys, wish I could be there!
