Bethesda Internationals

23 Mar. 03. Due to rain/soggy fields and closure of other fields, the PWSI games were shortened to 30-minutes and no halftime. As several key defensive players were absent, IB utilized four guest players and was succesful in shutting out its first two opponents, SWYA Comets (1-0) and GRFL Renegades (2-0) and giving up just one goal in the 3rd game against FC Bucks Dynamo (1-1) to advance to the final to face formidable MSC United. But, in the full-length, 60-minute championship match, MSC United's offense was able to penetrate IB's patchwork defense five times (including 1 PK and a 22+ yd. strike), and its defense stymied IB's offense, allowing no goals. Congratulations to MSC United for a well-earned victory!
