BRYC HOTLINE

The Bake Sale to support Mattie Brown, a local six year old undergoing treatment for osteosarcoma, was held on September 4th. Many BRYC families contributed donations of goodies and monetary contributions. In two hours with a suggested donation of only $1, we raised hundreds of dollars to support this wonderful family. Thank you to all our caring BRYC Rec Soccer families who gave donations and for their words of support and caring. You are the best! Thanks also to Past Commissioner, Mac Squires, for continuing to raise donations even after the official baked sale had ended. All proceeds go directly to the Brown Family.

BRYC All Stars from U8 through U19 participated in the Father’s Day All Star Tournament on June 14 and 15. On fields across Northern Virginia, boys and girls represented BRYC with class and skill.

Coach Oresky’s U19 Girls team defeated all opponents on their way to winning the FPYC Father’s Day tournament championship. Successfully defending their championship from last spring, the U19Gs delivered four shutouts victories, extending their consecutive streak of  FPYC tournament shut outs to eight. On Saturday morning, BRYC defeated Herndon by a score of 4-0. Later in the day, in a game delayed, shortened, and interrupted by rain and lightning, BRYC defeated SYSA by a score of 1-0. On Sunday morning, BRYC totally dominated Vienna on the way to a 3-0 victory. Playing Vienna once again in the finals, BRYC delivered a 2-0 victory to win the championship!

Exemplifying the teamwork BRYC is well known for, goals were scored by seven different players - Daphna M. (3), Jessica G. (2), Michelle O. (1) and Megan P. (1) on direct free kicks, Megan S. (1), Ari P. (1) who headed in a ball past the outstretched reach of the goalie, and Ryan P., scoring her first goal of the entire season (1).

Coach Oresky would like to extend special recognition to Megan P., who has finished her BRYC career, and to those who will be going off to college in the fall - Ani T. (JMU), Maria P. (William and Mary), Daphna M. (UVA), Jessica G. (UVA), and to my own personal MVP, Michelle O. (Princeton University).

Congratulations to all. Thank you for a great tournament, and for making BRYC proud. As usual, it has been an honor and a privelege to coach such an outstanding group of young ladies.

U11 Girls "X-plosion" coached by Megan Kipp took it all the way and brought home the Championship trophy for BRYC. What a great tournament! On Saturday the girls beat opponents 3-1 (Burke) and 6-0 (CYA) with goals from Katie S, Isabella, Colleen, Vanessa, and Katie C and great assists from Natalia, Anna, Lucia, and Ri-Ri. In Sunday’s first game, the girls beat a strong Mclean team with a goal by Katie C (aka: K.C). The girls had great movement, diagonal passing and did a great job supporting each other! In the championship game, the girls played a very aggressive Loundon Black team. The girls had beaten them in the Herndon Tournament this fall and once again rose to the occasion with great sportsmanship, spirit and team cohesion. Katie S scored the winning goal for a 1-0 victory! Claire, Kate, Briana, Colleen and Vanessa were defensive standouts all weekend. Emeleigh played goalie all tournament and made some stupendous saves! With only 1 goal scored against them all weekend and four wins, the girls certainly made their coach and BRYC proud....blue face paint, dance parties and ribbons were our signatures "we will rock you!!!"
