Who are you going to see in Honolulu this time of year? Of course, former UA football coach Dick Tomey. He visited with the 98 Boys Red team before Tuesday’s game in Honolulu. Super cool! But that’s Tomey.

Here’s a story about how the team got to Hawaii.

Coach Jeff Rogers thought the building process would take a while. Heck with the building process. The 98 Boys Red team are champions.
“Dean Nourse (assistant coach) and I couldn’t be more proud of our team,” said coach Jeff Rogers. “They played a flawless first half, jumping out to a 4-0 lead and were extremely focused and disciplined the entire match. We were so motivated and driven to succeed, and that is always the foundation of any championship-caliber team. Their performance set the tone for the day and I sincerely believe it gave confidence to our other teams ... everyone felt like this was TSA’s day after the way we played."

There’s a “D” next to Kaitlyn Lopez’s name on the Tucson Soccer Academy FC roster.

As any soccer fan knows, the letter stands for defender. But in the first two matches of the team’s inaugural season, it might just as easily mean destroyer.

While TSAFC breezed to 5-0 and 7-0 wins over St. George (Utah) United, the 19-year-old has already tallied four goals.

In a rematch of last week’s season opener, TSAFC (Tucson Soccer Academy FC) used a balanced scoring attack to overwhelm St. George United, 7-0, in front of a large crowd at Kino Sports Complex in Tucson.

In its first-ever WPSL home match in franchise history, TSAFC came away with the three points in style, controlling the match from start to finish and getting goals from six different players.
“It was a great home season opener, and we’re happy to come away with a solid win,” said Head Coach Amy Garelick.

TSAFC (2-0-0, 6 points Big Sky – North Division) took an early lead against St. George (0-0-4, 0 points) when Karina Camacho was played in on goal in the 4th minute and Tamra James put in the rebound after an initial save. In the 21st minute, Camacho scored, finishing a great cross from the left side from Jordan Davidson. The lead was 3-0 at halftime after Davidson used a great burst of speed to lose her marker and beat the keeper with the outside of her right foot in the 41st minute.
