Hot off their AUSC Soccerfest penalty shootout heartbreak and their convincing Fullerton Rangers Summer Classic championship, the FC Blades GU9’s continued their run of impressive results with another title at the Oaks Polo Fields Classic.

Saturday morning’s game against So Cal Blues Brad was a chance for the Blades attack to get warmed up with a 6-0 win. Then came the match-up with So Cal Blues Otto that would prove to be "The Final". The Blades jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Lauren Drysdale and Aya Mae Prow. The Blues clawed their way back to a 2-2 draw and Blades keeper Jackie Ruggiero made an important reaction save before Drysdale netted a dramatic winner shortly before the full-time whistle.

Sunday’s action saw the Blades put up 7 goals against 2 for familiar rivals FC Freedom and then close out the tournament with a 6-0 victory over a hard-working San Clemente United.

Besides Drysdale and Prow, the Blades got goals, beautiful build-up play and solid defensive support from Lauren Fuchs, Clarissa Hernandez, Natalie Virga, Michelle Hung, Lauren Schlegel, Kerenna Samynathan, McKenna Reid, Aliyah Sicat and Jaelyn Otomo. Keeper Jackie continued with more confident performances between the posts.

Blades Coach Andy Winn was pleased with the girls’ will to win and confidence going into the tougher competition of the West Coast Futbol Classic and the So Cal Blues Cup.
