RSL’s Hopes of a Disney Showcase Championship Ends with Semi-Final Loss

Early on it looked as if RSL u-18 girls would continue their amazing Showcase run. Three minutes into the game Chelsea Klotz dribbled the ball to the end line where she would beat the Albertson Fury defender around the corner and to the near post. Klotz sent the ball to the middle of the box to Tishia Jewell.  Jewell one timed the ball past the Albertson keeper for the quick score.  That would be the last real opportunity in the game for RSL.

Albertson would tie the game at 1 before the half on a miss played clearance. In the second half the RSL defense would withstand Albertson’s relentless attack for most of the half. But, Albertson would find the back of the net two more times for a 3 to 1 victory over RSL and a berth in the Championship game against Eclipse.

Albertson would eventually lose to Eclipse 3 to 1 in the championship game. Eclipse was also last years Disney Showcase Bracket Champions.
