The Lamorinda U15 girls reached four tournament finals matches this summer. Most recently, in the Santa Cruz Breaker's Cup. The girls faced Butte in the championship match with no reserves.
Butte led at half time, 1-0. When United U15 tied it up 1-1, the girls really settled in. The game went into overtime tied 1-1. United was spent but found the resolve to battle on. The first five minutes ended, with the teams switching sides, still knotted at 1-1.
The game then went to penalty kicks. Lamorinda went down by a goal at the beginning but came roaring back to win it on the final shot.
