The GU12 Stampede entered the final weekend of the US Club State Cup on a roll with clean sheets in the earlier rounds.

In the semifinals, they faced a familiar and tough competitor in NJSA04 Bulldogs. After taking a 1-0, Stampede gave up their first two goals in their state cup run. Both goals were skillfully executed by the Bulldogs. The girls however did not quit and scored two quick goals in the last five minutes of play to eek out a 3-2 victory.

The finals provided an equally competitive opponent in Toms River Everton. Stampede took an early 1-0 lead but Everton never relented. The two teams traded goals up to 2-2. At that point, Stampede dug in and added two more goals to seal the championship with a 4-2 victory.

The Stampede earned the championship playing well coached and talented teams along the way.

Congratulations girls!
