U12 Girls Win Akron Championship

The Lockport Lightning Girls U12 Team recently participated in the Akron Kick It First Tournament May 7-8, 2011.  They enjoyed a tremendous performance and captured the championship for the girls U12 East Division!   A strong offensive attack and scoring was led by forward Michaela Putnam and midfielder Caitlyn McNichol. Lockport dominated their opponents with their ball attack, positional play, and passing.   The Lightning went 3-0 for the tournament defeating teams from Amherst, Akron, and Buffalo.  The team demonstrated a lot of character and determination in their play to earn this accomplishment and it was a great experience overall for the girls.  The Lightning is looking forward to another solid performance in the Wilson Soccer Tournament in July.  The team has roster openings for experienced players so contact Martha Putnam to schedule a try-out.
