Mesquite, NV (2/16/18)
Day 2 was a little windy, a little cold, and a lot of fun. The U13-U18 girls tournament is always one of the funnest weekends of the year. The camaraderie seen between all the girls whether it be pregame dancing, goal celebrations, or post game hugs is what youth sports is all about. It is an amazing atmosphere and can only be matched by the action on the pitch.
We are one day closer to knockout rounds and crowning RSL Presidents champions, with that in mind here's some memorable games from today.
