Sammantha Toorish makes '95 ODP Region 1 pool!...
Maine had only 2 '95 age players at the Region 1 ODP camp this week, and they had to contend with players from all over the north east. In total there were over 500 players in the '95 age bracket competing for a place in the final pool of under 70 players.
Sammi worked very hard, made the pool from day one and lasted all week as a pool player despite the high level of competition.
Everyone at Seacoast United Maine and especially her teammates - The rising U14 girls (Fusion) - would like to congratulate Sammi on all her hard work and effort leading to more opportunities to develop her game at a Regional level.
Well done!
