2008 PRESIDENT'S CUP CHAMPIONS
EFC became the #1 seed in the semi-finals by defeating HFC
Benanzer 3-1, Tulsa Thunder Brazil 6-1, and WSA 6-1 in bracket play.
EFC went on the face Edmond Soccer Club White in the semi뭩 where they posted a 2-0 win. With the win, the boys moved on the finals to face Tulsa Nationals.
The boys were looking to avenge an earlier season draw with Nationals, but the game was played just as tight the second time around. EFC struck first with a goal in the first half with a good shot after many attempts were turned away by the Nationals keeper. Nationals knotted things up with goal midway through the second half on a defensive breakdown by EFC.
Regulation ended in a 1-1 tie. Two, ten minute overtimes were scheduled and penalty kicks to follow if a winner was not determined. EFC scored the game winner with 3.5 minutes left in the second over time to secure the title.
With this title, boys have earned their place in the USYS Region III President뭩 Cup Regional Tournament in Columbus, GA. Great job boys!

95 BOYS REACH THE FINALS OF
"BEAT THE HEAT!"
EFC was placed in the Gold division and the boys advance
to the semi finals by winning their bracket outright. They opened with a 5-1
win over TSC White. In their second match, the 95뭩 drew with Norman
Celtic Green 1-1. For the deciding match of their bracket, the boys really
turned up the intensity. They met ESC Gold and handled them a 10-0 loss and cruised to
the semi final match.
Norman Celtic Black awaited EFC in the next round. After a 0-0 first half, EFC struck first on a very impressive full volley goal off of the cross bar from a set play. Celtic Black tied things up at 1 apiece with about 8 minutes left in regulation. EFC put the game away with another great set play goal with only minutes left to play.
In the finals, the #1 ranked team from KS was looking for EFC. Wichita Airstrike had rolled through their bracket and opening round games with impressive victories. EFC played to a 1-1 tie through the first half and was looking strong. However, Airstrike placed a great shot past the EFC keeper midway through the second half and went up 2-1. Unfortunately, Airstrike put another 2 goals together very late in the match and EFC dropped the match 4-1. Throughout more than 100 degree heat for the weekend, EFC battled and brought home the Silver medal. Great job boys!

EFC 95 BOYS ADVANCE TO SEMIS OF OKLAHOMA PRESIDENT'S CUP
EFC moved on in impressive fashion. Fighting through inclement weather on a
Friday evening, the 95 boys slid past TSC 95 Red with a 6-1 victory. EFC narrowly missed a shutout by giving a
late goal with seconds remaining in the contest. Next, EFC faced off with Bartlesville United
95. EFC fought hard and dispatched
United 3-1. Again, the shutout was nearly gained, but a late goal by United with
little more than a couple of minutes remaining thwarted the stellar defensive
effort by EFC.
Rains moved in and postponed the tournament by one day. EFC 95 started out the rain delay on short notice. EFC was given a valiant challenge by Thunder Brazil 95. EFC was able to stay alive with a 3-3 draw. Many golden opportunities for the EFC 95 boys were turned away by the keeping performance of the Thunder 95 boys squad.
Finally, the last game of the day was played against the always tough Blitz United 95 Red team. After a nearly stalemate first half, EFC scored the only goal of the half on a dramatic breakaway with only seconds remaining. EFC then went up 3-1 midway through the second half before giving up a late goal on a set play. Both teams struggled to get much going offensively and the game ended with a 3-2 win for EFC.
The EFC boys advance to OKC as the #1 seed from the Tulsa bracket and await their next opponent. Congratulations boys on a great weekend! EFC finishes 3-0-1 with a goal differential of 15-8 to the good.
