	4-23-09 The Midwest Soccer Challenge has concluded for 2009 and we would like to say thank you to all of you who made it a successful tournament. First of all thank you to the 80 teams from U10 to U18 who participated; without your players we obviously wouldn't have an event. Second, a special thanks needs to go out to our volunteers, without them we would not have been able to make this tournament run efficiently. Third, we need to thank our field director Bob Johnson who diligently found us fields despite the hurdles we encountered along the way. Fourth, we need to thank our referees and our referee coordinators (Gene Warner and Shelly Rice). Most tournaments are judged by the efficiency of their games and Gene and Shelly made our event this year as smooth as any I have ever been involved with. Lastly, we need to thank our TC Fire Team managers, Kristen Frick, John Hudgens, Leeann Fabian, Mary Anderson, Mark Rafferty, Greg Karp, Stephanie McCarthy, & Marcus Gernes who really coordinated all the volunteer efforts. We hope all truly enjoyed the event and we hope to see you again next year. You can also visit our soccer in college tournament site to see all the scores and information regarding this years tournament. The Midwest Soccer Challenge Committee
	3-2-09 Sorry for the delay in posting this but as most of you know the MSC tournament was changed to Hazelwood Park in Maplewood. Although this change was disappointing the location could not have been more perfect. Hazelwood is located just south of Beam Avenue and allows the tournament participants easy access to hotels, shopping and restaurants. Not to mention Soccer USA is just around the corner for those needed items.
	12-29-08 The Midwest Soccer Challenge is working with the City of St. Paul Parks and Recreation Department, as well as the St. Paul School District to host the Midwest Soccer Tournament on the TURF fields the City owns. Currently we have a tentative agreement on 6 TURF fields including Griffen Stadium at Central High School. In addition to the TURF fields, the MSC has secured 4 natural grass fields. The TURF fields should allow us to have a complete tournament barring any late April snow storms.

TEAMS IN THE NEWS
	12-28-08 Some of the U13 Girls played in the NSC 5v5 Holiday Classic going 1-2-0 in pool play. The players were Laila Ben Saad-Johnson, Abby Steinhoff, Kensie Caldwell, Alli Shock, Sierra Smith, Julia Hudgens and Emily Anderson.

	11-20-08 The U15 girls team traveled to Kansas City to the Polo College Showcase where they faced some very good talented teams from Arkansas, Colorado and South Dakota. Although the FireSC94 squad didn't make it out of pool play to the Championship game their play was worthy of praise from many of the opposing coaches and players.

	11-20-08 The U17W Girls team traveled to Kansas City to the Polo College Showcase where they faced a very large pool (16) of quality teams from around the region at the U17 age level. The FireSC92W played teams from Kansas and Colorado in the A bracket and like the U15 team was unfortunate not to get out of the pool play and into the playoffs. Despite not advancing in the tournament the squad did have some interest from a handful of college coaches attending the tournament. (Photo Coming)
	10-11-08 The U13 Girls Team Wins the NSC Fall Cup After a tough Fall league the FireSC96 Girls team was ready for a little success. In pool play they went 3-0-0 while only surrendering 2 goals. In the Championship game the FireSC96 beat a formidable opponent in the Dakota Rev. The victory came after two daunting overtime periods and penalty kicks. The FireSC95 was better from the mark, out-scoring the Dakota Rev 2-1.
