Triangle sends 3 soccer teams to nationals

There's a new soccer powerhouse in Frisco, Texas.

In the area's best regional tournament showing in at least nine years, Triangle-based clubs are sending three teams to the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series in July in Lancaster, Mass.

The Under-17 Triangle United Gold boys, the U14 CASL Elite boys and the U14 CASL Spartans Elite Black girls won the US Youth Soccer Region III (Southern) championships Tuesday at Frisco's Pizza Hut Park.

Two local clubs reach national soccer finals

Playing in 100-plus degree heat in Frisco, Texas, for the regional championships seemed to be the worst weather conditions the Triangle's club teams would face in their postseason run.

That is, until they woke up Friday morning to a torrential downpour in Lancaster, Mass., at the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championship Series.

"It was pouring down rain, like sideways rain, too," said midfielder McAmos Paye, who plays for Triangle United Gold.

Spartans Elite girls play like a family

Every athletic team claims to be a family.

But for the CASL Under-14 Spartans Elite girls soccer squad, an automobile accident involving one of its players two years ago really made it convincing.

At a preseason tournament in Chicago, striker Joanna Boyles and her parents were T-boned at an intersection on their way to the airport. Boyles tore her liver and spleen and spent time in the hospital.
