On May 29, Clarksville Soccer Club’s under-13 and under-15 girl’s soccer teams took home two Division II Tennessee State Soccer Association championships.
Both teams won their respective championship match in Murfreesboro and will go on to represent the state in the South Regional President’s Cup June 8-13.
Clarksville’s U13 team was ranked as the fifth seed heading into the tournament, while the U15 squad was the top team in their bracket.The U13 team allowed just one score throughout the entire tournament and shut out its final two opponents. Goals from Leiah Hite and Julia Schacht set up a 3-0 win in the championship.
CSC’s U15 team experienced similar success by scoring 11 goals in the quarter and semifinal rounds before playing Tri-Cities United in the championship.A first-half strike from TCU saw Clarksville trail for the first time in the state cup, but a score after intermission from Rossview High School’s Kristen DeSantis eventually sent the game to a penalty-kick shootout. Addie Fourqurean, Elizabeth Guynn and Eva Greenwald all connected on shots in the final period to help CSC edge out its opposition 3-2 in PKs for their second state title of the day.
