CVU White GU12 traveled to Anaheim Hills to participate in the 2008 CHSA Holiday Cup this past weekend and walked away with some bumps, bruises and hardware.

The girls won their first two games, both by a score of 1-0, over Scripps United and Canyon PSA. Having won their first two games they had earned a spot in the championship game, however, the team lost two players due to injuries in the process. With tired legs and only two subs the girls faced a tough TVSA Hawks team in the championship game. CVU went down 0-2 early in the first half but was able to get a goal back just before the half on a great free kick by Meagan. With some adjustments made at halftime and a renewed energy the girls were able to disrupt the Hawks rhythm and were able to tie the game late in the 2nd half with a header goal by Meagan that found its way over the goalkeeper and under the crossbar. The game went into Golden Goal overtime and unfortunately the Hawks found the back of the net just before the end of the first overtime. It was an outstanding effort by the entire CVU team throughout the entire tournament. Great job girls! In their last six tournaments the girls have made it to three championship games (winning the CVU Tournament of Champions) and made the round of 32 in League Cup.
