Congratulations to the DOS 95 White team for their championship win in the Washington state 2012 Challenge Cup Tournament! Although they did not have an outstanding regular season record, coach Sam Laity continued to work with them and stressed all year he was focusing their training so they would "Peak" during State Cup. As a team they did just that! They got better and better all year and by the first game in the bracket we could tell they had come together as a team. The passing was sharp and everyone hustled hard after each ball. Each player gave it their all in every game and the results showed in placing 2nd in their bracket to move on in the tournament.
In the Round of 16 bracket play they faced a very good Vancouver Timbers team, and after a nail biter, won the game in a shootout. Next, in the quarterfinals, they played Seattle United Tango and again won in a very close 2 to 1 battle. On to the semi-finals last weekend on a very hot, by Seattle standards, weekend. In the semi-final game they played Spokane Shadow \'95, who in the previous 5 games had outscored their opponents, 20 goals for and only 3 against. We knew we were in for a very tough game. But the girls played outstanding! Both offensively and defensively. We held them to only 1 goal and managed to get a goal ourselves near the end of the 2nd half to tie it up at the end. After two scoreless OT periods we won 5 to 3 in a very emotional shootout! The final game on Sunday was against the Northwest Nationals Blue team. We started strong and got ahead 2 to 0 early on... It seemed it would finally be an easy victory. But NWN scored on a PK to keep it close. We thought we had the championship victory in hand, but as the seconds were ticking off the clock, and the ref adding time to the game, they kept threatening our goal. They finally managed to get one in with seconds left and then the Ref blew the whistle! Another game into overtime, Arrgghh! The girls were exhausted after playing in 2 OT games two days in a row (we had very few subs) but we managed to score a goal in the 1st OT, and kept them scoreless in the 2nd OT, to guarantee a Final Championship Win! All of the girls played with emotion and heart. It\'s hard to call one or two girls out that played exceptional as they all played amazing soccer, and as a team pushed each other to play at a very high level.
All the parents, grandparents, and friends had a great ride and are very proud of this fun, great group of girls. We all thank Coach Sam Laity for his help in making it happen. GO DOS!!!

| Pedro, one of our longest standing Dos FC coaches has just been accepted into a very prestigious masters program. He will be pursuing a masters degree in "Talent Identification and Development in Soccer" from the Great Real Madrid Soccer Club!!!
Our Club is saddened to see Pedro leave but we are excited that he has been given such a wonderful opportunity. He will be continuing his coaching education at the highest level possible in Europe, specifically in Spain who reigns in the soccer world not only by having won the last World Cup in 2010, but also by having the team that commands the world in style and performance dominance.
Pedro does have the goal of returning to Washington and Dos FC once he has completed his course. Again, congratulations Pedro! We wish you the best. |

Congratulations to the Dos FC G94 (U16), G99 Red (U11) and G96 White (U14) who have all won their respective RCL Divisions this Spring. As a result of their success the G94’s and G99’s will be promoted to Division 1 for next season while the 96 White’s will move up from Div. 4 to Div. 3.
Malia Arrant, Dos’s Director of Coaching, said of the achievement, “The achievements of these teams is awesome for the club and is evidence of the great work being done by both our coaches but especially by our players and I congratulate all involved with these teams. It means we’ll have 4 or 5 of the 8 girls age groups playing in the top division next season and I think that shows that we’re moving in the right direction as a club.”
This might not be an end to Dos’ Spring season successes. The G96 Red (U14)finished their season tied for first in Division 2 and although they have an inferior goal difference to Spokane Shadow they are likely to be promoted to Division 1 for next season since they will reach high school age where the divisions have 10-12 teams. Finally, with good results this weekend the 95 White (U15) team have an opportunity to move up to Division 2 alongside their squad mates in the G95Red; we wish them the best of luck! | |
