The Coast FA 04 Girls Red team coached by Mark Sanchez finished off a prolonged 2018 season by winning the U15 PMSL Classic State Cup on Saturday in Daniel Island.

The victory came in dramatic fashion, winning the cup on penalty kicks from the mark after completing 80 minutes of regulation time plus 20 minutes of overtime.

DISA drew first blood with an early first half goal but the Coast girls equalized in the second half to force overtime and eventually win in sudden death PKs.

“I am so proud of my girls. Yesterday’s win was a testament of our season where we played as a unit with heart and desire. It took everything they had and they were willing to give it in order to win the state championship. This is a memory that will last a lifetime and now we can look forward to regionals,” said Coach Sanchez.

Along with the state championship result comes a trip to Frisco, Texas this summer to represent South Carolina in the Southern Regionals where they will face state champions from other Southeastern states. The team will also receive a promotion from the PMSL Classic league to the SCSCL Challenge League next season.

Coach Joel Banta’s Coast 02 Boys Red team came up one victory short of winning the U17 SCSCL Challenge State Cup on Saturday in Mount Pleasant. After a resounding 6-1 victory in the semifinal versus SCUFC the boys came out on the wrong end of a 3-1 championship result.

The U18 Girls SCSCL Challenge State Cup was played Sunday in Rock Hill. and saw the Coast 01 Girls drop a 0-6 result to the DSC 01 Lady Gold Premier. Despite the disappointing loss the Coast 01 Girls enjoyed a terrific season in the SCSCL Challenge league and will also be promoted to the Piedmont Region League next season.
