Accolades

 

 

CONGRATULATIONS to the MK United U14 Girls Team for finishing as Champions in the U15 Girls Division at the Lighthouse Classic tournament in Racine, Oct 10-11, 2009.  Only one U15 girls team registered for the tournament, so the best U14 teams were moved up to play against them.  It was a tough division, with the MK United U14 girls qualifying to play in the Final by winning one game and tying the other two.  In the Final, played against the Pewaukee Pirates U14 Girls, regular time expired with both teams still scoreless.  Rachel Snyder was in the goal for the penalty kick shoot-out, and she saved two goals and another Pewaukee shooter missed the goal mouth, which was enough to give MK United the 1st place trophy, 3-2.


Great job ladies - and congratulations on a great Fall 2009 season!

CONGRATULATIONS to the MK United U13 Boys Blue Team for their first place finish in the Battle of the Border tournament in Kenosha, WI.  The team finished with a 3-0-1 record defeating SE United (6-0), Warren United (2-0), and tying OSA Rampage (1-1) in pool play.  They defeated OSA Rampage 2-0 in the championship game.  Fast, aggressive defense and an excellent transition game shut down the opponent's attack and created a shooting differential of 73 shots on goal for MK-United vs. 28 shots on goal for opponents and a goal differential of 11-1.  This was a great pre-season performance and showed that the boys are well prepared for the upcoming season.


Congratulations also on a very successful 2008-09 season.  In their first year together, the team went 6-2 in the fall and 7-0 in the spring in the MYRSL "C" league.  This earned them a spot in the MYRSL "B" division this year.  Each player improved individually and their team play improved tremendously as their combined 13-2 overall record, and 80-20 goal differential, demonstrates.


Great job to all the players and we look forward to a SUCCESSFUL 2009 SEASON!!

CONGRATULATIONS to the MK United U14 Girls Blue Team and Coach Toby Whipple for clinching the WYSA Southeast Classic League B-East Championship for the spring 2009 season with a record of 7-1-0.

 

This team lost out on being league champions last fall and being promoted by one goal and they were determined not to let that happen this spring.  They fought through some player attrition late in the spring season, but persevered to win the championship!  Actually, this team only lost two league games for the entire 2008-09 year.

 

This team also went undefeated in the MKsc Froedtert/Medical College of WI A/B Select Tournament this spring with three straight shutout wins.

 

Looking back to last fall, they were the champions of the Racine Lighthouse Tournament and were runners up at the New Berlin Fall Classic Tournament. 

  

You're awesome ladies & YOU ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!
