Coastal Storm U14B v. Maine Metro Summary - June 12, 2007

On Saturday, June 2nd, the Coastal Storm played Maine Metro in a State-Cup semi-final game in Brunswick.  In an evenly contested and exciting match, the two U14 boy's teams battled to a scoreless tie in the first half.  Early in the second half, the Coastal Storm took a 1-0 lead on a break-away goal.  Maine Metro tied the game minutes later and subsequently took a 2-1 lead with approximately ten minutes left in the second half.  The Storm, battling to the end, tied the game with just several minutes remaining in regulation forcing the two 10-minute overtime periods.  Neither team scored in the first overtime period.  Near the end of the second overtime, Metro scored the eventual game winner.  Despite the disappointing outcome for the team, it was one of the most exciting and well-played games of the season for the Storm.

Coastal girls have an impressive showing at Needham - June 3, 2007

For the first time in the club's history, Coastal Soccer Club sent its entire girl's division to a single tournament - the Needham Memorial Day Tournament.  The club was represented at every level from U11 through U19.  The tournament turned out to be a fantastic success, where the club bonded both on and off the field.                        

Off the field, the club held its first ever "End of Season Awards Ceremony."  This event took place at the spectacular venue of Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA.  The girls were treated to fantastic professional soccer followed by the ceremony which took place on the actual game field. 

Each team presented a player of their team the "Player of the Season Award," assisted by New England Revolution player Doug Warren.  See below for award recipients.

On the field our teams showed some positive success with some impressive displays.

The U15 girls coached by Ed Thomas, continued their impressive season by reaching the final game at the tournament.  It was a game they completely dominated until the final minute where they conceded the winning goal to a direct kick.  It was heartbreak for the girls who really deserved to win the whole thing.  Special mentions must go out to Quinn Curtin who scored some important free kicks and to Liz Marcuse and Sam Roy, who marshaled a defense that only conceded 2 goals throughout the tournament. 

The U17 & U18 girls joined forces to create a U19 team that also produced a marvelous display.  The girls went 3-0 in the group stages, defeating high caliber opposition with the likes of MPS Boston Renegades.  The girls were ranked the number one seed going into the semi-finals.  Under the drive and determination of Ashley Michaud and sheer brilliance of Alex Laniewski, the girls showed tremendous heart to come from 3-1 down against the mighty Rhode Island Rays to tie the game 3-3.  Sadly the game went to a shoot out which saw the girls make a premature exit from the competition.  Special mentions must go out to ZZ Leighton who was the top scorer with 5 goals, and to Caitlyn Butterfield who held a watertight defense that only conceded 1 goal in the group stages.

The tournament was a huge success and a big thank you must go out to all of the players, parents, coaches and team officials that made all of this possible.

Coastal teams head south over Presidents Day Weekend

February 25, 2007

Three Coastal teams traveled to Florida over the Presidents Day weekend, playing in the Score at the Shore 2007 Tournament in Jacksonville.

The Coastal U-17 Boys played four very good games, winning two and losing two. The U17s lost their first two games by close scores: Great Falls Rangers 89 (VA) 2, Coastal 1; and Futsoc USA Enigma (FL) 1, Coastal 0. They then turned it around, winning two games by 2-goal margins: Coastal 3, Colorado Storm Royal (CO) 1; and Coastal 2, Eden Prairie Eagles Premier (MN) 0. The team is off to a strong start to their 2007 season with a good performance at an excellent tournament.

The Coastal U15 Thunder also had a good tournament in Jacksonville. In pool play, the Thunder went 2-0-1 and won their bracket. They started off with a 1-1 tie vs Futbol Select (FL), won the second game 1-0 over NFC Bellator (NE) and won their third game 3-2 against the Classics Elite (PA). The Thunder advanced to the quarterfinals, where they played Eclipse Select (IL), losing in PKs (5-3) after the game was tied 1-1 after regulation. Playing facilities/games, accommodations, and everything about the tournament was excellent.

The real story for the Thunder was that seven players and families drove to Florida (20 hours) once they realized their flights were not going to make it due to the Valentines Day storm. A couple of families rented a van and drove five players down, and two other parents drove two players to Florida.

The U16 Hurricanes also traveled south, and had a rough go of it, losing all four of their games. Starting with an already short bench, including two guest players from Eastern New York, the Hurricanes suffered a couple of key injuries early in the tournament, forcing them to borrow players from other Coastal squads. The 16s lost their opener to Metro United Premier (IL) by a score of 2-0, and their second game to Dunedin Stirling Soccer Academy (FL) ended 6-1 in favor of the Floridians. On day two, they lost a close game to Greensboro SC 90 Green (NC) by a 1-0 score, and finished the day with 4-0 loss to HUSA Gold (IL) in the consolation match. As experienced by the U15 team, travel to Florida was troublesome, and one U16 family drove to Florida after their flight was cancelled.

Coastal Labor Day results

September 15, 2006

The Coastal Freedom U10 Girls team had a great showing at the Cumberland “Just for Fun” tournament over Labor Day weekend. The Freedom won all four of its games, allowing only one goal on the day.

The Coastal Current U12 girls also turned in a solid performance in the Cumberland Labor Day tournament, where they played four 30-minute games on Sunday in unseasonably cool and wet weather. Game one ended in a 1-1 tie against Falmouth, with solid defense and offense characterizing both teams. Game 2 was a 0-1 loss against a hard-charging and eager Cumberland (Rand) team, with excellent goaltending on both sides keeping the scores low. Game 3 against Yarmouth (Strabley) ended in a 0-0 tie, with the Current looking a bit sluggish but nonetheless thwarting several strong goal attempts. Despite the onset of heavier rain, the Current rallied in the fourth game with their best effort of the day, beating a strong Bangor team 1-0. Bangor’s defense and goalkeeping was solid and kept the Current from registering a higher score.

Coastal Chaos U14 Girls shocked New England, reaching the final of the 2006 Bandits Cup in Devens, MA. over the Labor Day weekend.

The Chaos posted a 2-0-1 record in the preliminary round. They started off strong, recording a 6-0 win in Game 1, and followed up with another strong effort in the second match against the Boston Blast. The girls took an early lead, holding a one goal advantage until late in the game when a speculative cross from the Blast turned into a goal. The game ended 1-1.

Coastal won its final game, 2-0, and advanced to the Championship game on goal differential to meet the team from Mass Premier Soccer.

In the final, the Chaos went ahead on a breakaway goal in the seventh minute, but gave up the equalizer five minutes later. Just before halftime, Coastal got a go-ahead goal to take a 2-1 lead into the break. In the second half, the girls thought they had extended their lead to 3-1, only to have the goal disallowed on an offsides call. Minutes later, MPS tied the game 2-2, and regulation time ended with the score tied. With a minute remaining in the second of two five-minute periods, MPS scored on a follow-up shot after a corner kick, earning them a 3-2 win over the Chaos.

The Coastal Rage U9 Boys maintained their stellar early season form by finishing the Cumberland "Just for Fun" tournament with a record of 3-1. The U9 boys outscored their opponents 8-3 showcasing solid defense and an attacking offense.

The Coastal Fire U11 Boys team began their season prior to Labor Day with a 6-1 victory over Yarmouth (Olsen) on August 27.

At the Labor Day “Just for Fun” tournament in Cumberland, the Fire posted a 2-2 record, facing some tough competition. In game 1, the Fire posted a 10-3 victory over Scarborough, but lost the second game 1-0 to Cumberland (Hart). The team rallied in the third game with win over the Waterville Novas, 4-0. The day ended with a 3-1 loss to the Cape Elizabeth Casco team, despite some excellent team play.

The Coastal Crew2 U12 boys, reached the finals in the 2006 Bandit Cup in Devens, Mass over Labor Day weekend. The Crew 2 won their three preliminary round games by scores of 2-0 vs Boston Bolts B, 1-0 vs Scandinavian FC and 1-0 vs Boston Blast, advancing to the semifinals where they beat Inter SC 1-0. In the Championship match against the Boston Bolts A, the Crew 2 lost a hard fought and very physical game to the undefeated multiple state champion Bolts, 0-2.

Coastal and NYA sign agreement for use of turf field

September 15, 2006

North Yarmouth Academy and the Coastal Soccer Club have reached an agreement allowing Coastal teams use of NYA's newly installed turf field.

The 12-year agreement gives Coastal exclusive use of the turf field on Sundays from March 1 through the first Sunday in November. Additionally, Coastal, has right of first refusal to rent the field on Monday through Saturday during the period when the surface is not being used by NYA teams.

Access to this all-weather surface will be a great benefit to all Coastal teams, especially in the spring when field conditions make scheduling practices and games a challenge.

Crew2 take Scarborough U12 4  v 4 Lobster Classic

August 20, 2006

The Coastal Crew2 U11 boys squad won the 2006 Scarborough U12 - 4 v 4 Lobster Classic on August 12-13. The Crew2, playing up, faced U12 teams from Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. There were twelve U12 teams in the event.

On day one, the Crew2 won two games, but lost once to the team from Connecticut. The Crew2 was able to make it to the winners bracket by winning their first two Sunday games, earning them a trip to the championship game for a rematch with the unbeaten Connecticut squad.

During preliminary rounds, Connecticut had outscored its opponents 45-5. In the Championship match, the Crew2 held Connecticut scoreless, winning 4-0 to earn the Championship banner. The Crew2 is coached by Jim Wade.

Coastal U14 Boys Thunder are Region 1 Finalists

July 10, 2006

The Coastal U14 Boys Thunder went where no team from Maine has gone before: to the Region 1 finals. There, they lost a close match to Maryland, 1-0.

The Thunder posted a 2-0-1 record in group play over the weekend at the Region 1 Championships in Virginia Beach, Va., registering wins over West Virginia and Penn West, and posting a draw with Virginia. That record matched Virginia's, necessitating a tie-breaker PK shootout to determine the team to advance to the semis. The Thunder won the shootout, moving on to meet FC Delco of Eastern Pennsylvania, who they beat 1-0 in the semifinal match on Monday morning.

In Tuesday's final match, the Thunder lost 1-0 to Maryland. Despite the loss, this is a remarkable achievement for the U14 Boys. No team from Maine had ever advanced to the Region I Championship match. Based on their semifinal win, the Thunder earned a spot in the Region 1 Premier League for the Spring 2007 season. Congratulations, Thunder!

Other Coastal teams also turned in respectable results at Region 1. The U15 Boys Hurricanes posted a record of 1-1-1, with a win over Vermont, a draw with Connecticut, and a loss to Massachusetts, eventual finalists in the tournament.

The U16 Boys posted a 1-2-0 record, with a win over Vermont and close losses to Massachusetts, last year's national champions, and to Eastern New York.

The U17 Boys Crew posted two draws after an opening game loss to Eastern Pennsylvania, tying New Hampshire and Penn West.

Overall, the four Coastal teams had a +3 goal differential, scoring 19 goals while giving up only 16. In contrast, the remaining 10 teams representing Maine in the Boys and Girls divisions also scored 19 goals, but yielded 99.

Coastal Summer Challenge a great success

June 28, 2006

The 2006 Coastal Summer Challenge went off without a hitch last weekend. Nearly 150 teams from New Jersey to the Maritimes came to Brunswick over the Father's Day weekend and played spirited, high-level soccer. Despite the high temperatures and unrelenting sun, a good time was had by all at beautiful Bowdoin College. Thanks to our sponsors, volunteers, parents, and most of all, to our great participants. We hope to see you all next year.

Memorial Day tournament recap

May 25, 2006

Many Coastal teams traveled out of state last weekend to match up against the best clubs around at several Memorial Day tournaments.

Coastal teams traveled to Massachusetts (U10 Boys Coastal FC in Wellesley, U11 Girls Current in Devens, and the U13 Boys Storm in Needham), Connecticut (U14 Boys Thunder and U15 Boys Hurricanes at Oakwood) and Maryland (U16 Boys and the U17 Boys Crew at Potomac).

The U10 Boys Coastal FC turned in a record of 2-4-0 at the Wellesley U10 Memorial Day tournament, playing well against teams from suburban Boston.

The U11 Girls Current took on some of Massachusetts’s finest teams in 11v11 competition at the John Smith/Inter Bandits 2006 Memorial Day Soccer Tournament, turning in a record of 1-2-0. After starting slowly against Western United SC in their first match, the Current improved their play in the second half, but came out on the losing end of an 0-6 score. Next, the Current met Elite SA from Framingham, MA., coming out on top with a 1-0 victory at the end of 60 grueling minutes under the hot summer sun. In their final game, the Current struggled to hold off the quick and talented Charles River United Soccer Club, losing 1-6 despite picking up their game in the second half.

The U11 Boys Crew2 went to Framingham for the FUSC Memorial Day Sportsmanship Classic, where they turned in a 2-2-0 record against strong U12 competition. They lost their opener to the U12 Franklin Scorch by a score of 1-3, but rebounded with a solid 5-2 win against undefeated and indoor tournament U12 champion Wellesley United Strikers. Next up were the undefeated U12 Newton Kickers, winners of the last two meetings between the teams. The Kickers jumped out to a lead, but the Crew2 fought hard and came back to win the game 2 to 1. The Crew2 fell in the last game 0-9 to the undefeated Brookline Spartans, a team featuring three Mass ODP players, and a squad that some say is the best U12 team in Massachusetts.

The U13 Boys Storm turned in a respectable 1-1-1 record at the Needham Invitational Memorial Day tournament, giving up a division-best one goal over their three games and finishing second in their bracket. Saturday's matches saw a 3-0 win over Guilford (CT) and a 0-1 loss to the Stingers (MA), followed on Sunday by a 0-0 draw against a strong Terryville (NY) team who advanced to semifinal play at the expense of the Storm.

At the Oakwood Premier Invitational tournament, the U14 Boys Thunder turned in a 1-0-2 record with ties against Western United (1-1) and Clifton Park Premier (0-0), and a 3-1 win over Bruno United. The Thunder finished second in their bracket (nearly advancing as the wildcard) to eventual champion Western United.

Also at Oakwood, the U15 Boys Hurricanes went undefeated in group play, beating World Class (CT) 3-0, Clifton Park (NY) 2-0 and Western United (MA) 3-2, and advancing to the semifinal round where they matched up against Massachusetts powerhouse Boston Blast. After a scoreless first half with several scoring opportunities by both sides, Boston converted on a loose ball in the box following a corner kick. During a very physical and up-tempo game the Hurricanes pushed to recover but could not capitalize, losing to the Blast, the eventual tournament winners, by a score of 0-1.

At the Potomac Memorial Tournament in Maryland, the Coastal U16 Boys turned in a 0-1-2 record, with draws against Maryland's MSC Dragons (1-1) and RFC '89 of Virginia (0-0) and a loss to PDA Socrates (NJ), 0-4.

Also at Potomac, the U17 Boys Crew, tallied a win (Bethesda Bullets - 1-0), a loss (PA Classics - 2-4) and a tie (Ajax of Illinois 1-1).

Coastal Crew crowned Maine champs for 6th time

May 25, 2006

The Crew also recently won their bracket in Northeast Region 1 Premier League to advance to playoffs on June 17th and 18th. The Crew defense was outstanding in both State Cup play and Northeast Region 1 competition, conceding no goals in eight straight matches while scoring a total of twenty goals against teams from Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.

The Crew travels to Potomac, Maryland over Memorial Day weekend to compete in the prestigious Adidas Potomac Memorial Day Tournament.

Coastal Hurricanes claim State Championship

May 9, 2006

The Coastal U15 Boys Hurricanes were crowned State champs on May 7, beating the Odyssey U15s 2-1 in a close battle at Bowdoin College.

Two late-game goals sealed the championship for the Hurricanes, who captured both State Cup games from Odyssey this year. The Hurricanes won three straight from their southern Maine rivals, opening the season with a Northeast Region win.

Sunday's win reclaims the state title from Odyssey that the Coastal boys had last won as U13's. Congratulations Hurricanes!
