After an incredibly competitive spring season, Tennessee State Soccer Association (TSSA) officially crowned its State Cup Champions last weekend at the Richard Siegel Soccer Complex in Murfreesboro. Girls champions were determined in the 12U-19U age groups for all three divisions of play, along with boys teams in the 12U-14U age brackets.
“Another exciting State Cup is in the books,” said Jeannie Louk, TSSA Director of Leagues and Programs. “Great competition with 22% of the 169 matches decided in extra time! We had it all. Signing bracket boards as teams advanced, 36 champions raised the Cup, players named to the All-Tournament Team and medals honoring our elite referees chosen for finals. We could not have asked for a better ending to an exceptional season. Good luck to all the teams advancing to Southern Presidents Cup and Southern Regionals this summer in TX. I know they will represent TN well!”
