u13 Boys Win MSYSA State Cup Pool

May 7th, 2009

Lowell, MI- Coach Zsolt Bertalan's boys pulled out an impressive home win against Michigan Burn, one of the state's top rated teams.  The Burn were fresh off an Ohio FC Nike Challenge Cup tournament run and on goal differential came into the match only needing a tie to upset the #4 MSYSA seeded Alliance team for a state quarterfinal berth.  The Alliance u13 Boys won the match 3-0 and head into Saturday's Quarterfinal match against Vardar with a final four berth on the line.    


Two Alliance FC Girls Teams Win Midwest Spring Invite

April 29th, 2009

Lowell, MI- Our u13 and u14 Girls took home trophies at the Midwest Spring Invite as a result of superb defensive efforts. The u14s conceded a single goal in four matches while the u13s gave up two. The u13s task was made even more difficult as they played without goalkeeper Alexis D. and back up Clare S.. Fortunately for the team, Rachel S. was up to the task as she made a number of important saves on the weekend.
