The Under-12 Girls Arlington Boomers won
the Virginia State Cup on Sunday, June 3, defeating the VISTA Sting 2-1
in overtime.
The Boomers advanced
to the State Cup finals on Saturday when they beat Sterling in a
shootout after a 0-0 tie in regulation and overtime play.
 After VISTA scored in the first half,
Kelly Lightfoot scored on a free kick in the second half to tie the
game. Early in the overtime period, Liz Carroll, on a pass from
Katharine Lee-Kramer, scored on a one-on-one with the VISTA keeper, and the
Boomers defense held on to preserve the win.
This is the first time an Arlington girls
team has ever won State Cup, and the first Arlington team to win in
many, many years.
Congratulations to all the Boomers
