The Suffield Soccer Club Girls U12 team took the championship at the Connecticut Junior Soccer Association Fall 2012 CT State Cup on November 3 in Farmington.
"The run to the championship was a complete team effort," said team coach David Sullivan. "This is truly an outstanding group of young ladies who are committed to giving 100 percent at all times."
Sullivan said 41 teams entered the Open State Cup, which started September 21 and ended on November 3. The team won six games to get to the title.
"We scored 13 goals and only allowed one," he explained.
The State Cup Championship followed a successful fall season for the team. The team won the Windsor Columbus Day tournament going 5-0, the CJSA North Central Division One Fall league title going 6-0 scoring 21 goals and not allowing any goals.
The final record for the 2012 fall season was a perfect 17-0.
"Between league play and the State Cup, the team scored 34 goals and only gave up one. The most remarkable thing about this team is that they have proven that you can be successful as a team and have fun playing the sport they love," Sullivan said.
