There were a total of 84 teams in their division. The Strikers were seeded 66th, but proved the seeding committee wrong by advancing to the round of 32 and then to the round of 16. Then the Strikers won their quarterfinal match on penalty kicks. The team’s dream season came to an end in the semifinals. In the final three minutes of regulation, they gave up the go-ahead goal and fell 2-1. Five players from the Strikers stood out for their play and earned a tryout with the Soccer Olympic Development program. Luis Garibay, Jose Olmos, Andrew Valverde as well as Sam Twigg and Casey Lund will showcase their talents in the program in hopes of making the roster that will compete against the nation’s elite. Lund stood out because he’s a vocal player in midfield and helps keep the team organized even when the game gets hectic. Lund gets up and joins the attack when he can, but with his speed and keen knowledge is one of the first to drop back and cover defensively when needed. Twigg is one of the quickest players on the roster. He sees the field like few players his age and even though he is one of the top scorers on the team, his greatest strengths are his range of passing and pinpoint accuracy. • The South Bay Strikers FC U16 team poses after an amazing showing in the National Cup tournament.
