Marin FC United U18B Wins Las Vegas Coaches Classic

-- Wins In Convincing Fashion - No Goals Allowed!
If you’re going to go to Las Vegas, you might as well gamble. The MarinFC U18 boys competed in the Las Vegas Coaches Classic and their gamble was fielding a keeper who had no previous tournament experience and denying guest players to balance out their small roster of 15. The gamble paid off as they beat Las Vegas Premier, the Nevada State Champions, 3-0 in the Championship match. In fact, the boys returned to Marin County with first place medals by winning all five matches, 11 different players scoring the team’s 18 goals, and competing all weekend without conceding a single goal.
