Mad River United Has Two Great U12B Teams!
|
|
Most clubs would be happy to have one great team at each age level, but at MRU we have two great U12B teams. Mad River United Black and Mad River United Red finished 2nd and 4th respectively, this past fall league season.
Congratulations to the players and coaches of these teams!

The Mad River United U12 girls had a frightfully good time at the Fort Bragg Spookfest Tournament. They scared off opponents to go undefeated in preliminary games and finished with a hauntingly grounded 2nd place. This was Mad River United’s first encounter with the Spookfest, but it won’t likely be the last!
Congratulations to the entire team on a brilliant performance!

Arcata, CA – Mad River’s 12 year-old boys bested all-comers in their season opening tournament. Despite tough competition from as far away as Sonoma and Redding, Mad River used their home field advantage to take home the gold in the 2009 Redwood Classic held in Arcata and McKinleyville this past weekend.
Mad River earned the top trophy after a tough fought, 1-0 win over Fortuna, which earned them the best record in the seven team, round-robin style tournament. Despite a slow start against a strong Sonoma squad, Mad River rallied to win its next three games in impressive form – scoring 15 and letting in only 2.
The team’s success was anchored in its superb goal tending (Tab Heinz, Addison Prentiss) and on the feet of its strikers and top scorers (Jake Verhaegh, Dane Malkus, Nick Black). However, it was its central engine room (Canyon Robins, Collin Townsend, Russ Taylor, Aiden Carter) that allowed the team to dictate play.
Congrats to all of the players and Mad River soccer for a great win and a memorable tournament.

Tough defense and stellar goalkeeping is the only way to describe this U12 Girls team that did not allow a single goal during the entire 2009 Redwood Classic Tournament!
Starting out strong the girls won their first two games with the combined score of 5-0. During the semi-final game Mad River United faced a difficult AC United team and battled to a 0-0 tie at the end of regulation. After two overtime periods and the girls ended up falling 4-2 in a penalty shootout.
Immediately bouncing back Mad River United captured 3rd place by beating local rival Eel River Rapids (Fortuna) 1-0!
Congratulations to the entire team and the coaching staff for a great weekend of games!
