STORY:

Our Champs! The FC Denver Premier squad weathered the torrential rain and the opponent to win their 2nd consecutive Spring CPL title! The ladies bossed the initial 45 minutes, but several good opportunities, including some spectacular Katie Marcheso runs through the defense, didn’t lead to a goal, which sent the score into half as 0-0.

The second half kicked off to the nice evening 80 degree temps, summer storms off in the distance, and good football on display. The weather changed that calculation about 10 minutes in, as monsoon-level (I’m making that up) rain came lashing down. It was fast and intense. The stands quickly went for cover. People were sorted under the bleachers, watching the action through the cracks in the structure, as the game continued on. We’d already been in control of the flow of the game, and now with the rain/wind in our favor, and we drove ahead. We laced shot after shot on the Rover goal, but not most efforts were speculative at best. Until Sophie Centi lined up a shot from about 25 yards out, in the 74th minute, and put a strong shot on frame that the Rovers keeper could only bat into the goal. BREAKTHROUGH!

From there, it was up to to FC Denver Goalkeeper Kari Spicer to make an amazing save in the 86th minute to maintain the advantage and shutout victory. It was a terrific team performance in wild conditions for the team’s 2nd Colorado Premier League Championship in the past three seasons.

We celebrate now and and then it’ll time to research and locate our future competitive opportunities for the squad’s continued growth & excellence.

FORWARD FC DENVER!!!!!

CHAMPIONS! CHAMPIONS! CHAMPIONS!
