The U14 California Magic girls won the US Club Soccer Western Regional championship in the tournament's Super Group division June 24. After dropping their opening match 3-1, the resilient Magic girls fought back and outscored their opponents in the remaining three games nine goals to one.
"Our girls have worked hard to build more consistent performances and they rose to the occasion against some significant competition," said coach Haris Obic.
In the championship game the Magic girls dominated, forcing turnovers and pressuring their opponent, while maintaining a high level of ball possession throughout the game. Magic won 2-0.
