The Heat opened their GCF league season against a highly motivated CFU team that the girls had previously beaten at Ormond Beach.  The girls opened the scoring early on a nice passing combination that Megan W. pounded into a wide open net for the easy goal.  However, a couple of defensive errors led to a CFU PK goal, and a long range floating ball over the keeper's head to give CFU a 2-1 lead at the half.  The girls fought hard in the 2nd half, dominating most of the possession, but failed to get a few good chances by the CFU keeper, and CFU hung on for the 2-1 win.

Region Cup final four results...
The Heat entered final four competition as the 3rd seed.  And that's where they finished, as the 3rd place team, after losing a close game to Spacecoast in the semis, and then dominating Jacksonville in the 3rd place game.  Check below for the individual game details..

Seminfinal game- The girls faced a tough Spacecoast team in the key semifinal game.  The team had recently beaten and tied this team in two closely played matches.  The girls outplayed Spacecoast for much of the first half, but could not convert 6 great chances.  Spacecoast took a 1-0 lead into the half after converting a PK following a very questionable foul in the box.  The Heat again got the better of the overall play in the 2nd half, finally tieing the game about halfway through on gorgeous header by Megan W. off of a perfectly placed free kick by Reagan.  Regulation ended tied 1-1, and the game went to two 10 minute overtime periods.  Spacecoast converted a failed  clearance for the tiebreaking goal late in the first overtime.  The Heat pressed hard for the equalizer in the 2nd overtime, but a stubborn Spacecoast defense held on and sealed the win, as the Heat was again relegated to the 3rd place game for the 2nd year in a row.

3rd place game- The team faced Jacksonville in the 3rd place matchup.  This game was dominated from start to finish by the Heat.  Reagan opened the scoring early in the 1st half with a strong shot off the right post and into the net.  The 2nd half again saw the Heat dominate play, with the win  finally being sealed about 5 minutes from the finish when Gaby rocketed a shot by the Jax keeper for the 2-0 win.

Region Cup seeding round results...
The Heat competed this weekend in Jacksonville in a set of games to determine seeding for the Regional Final at the end of March.  The girls finished the weekend with a 1-1-1 record and will be the 3rd seed for the finals.

GAME 1 - The team opened against Jacksonville with a 1-0 win.  The game was not as close as the score would indicate, as the team generated at least 10 good chances, before Gaby finished a nice goal fed from Patricia to start the 2nd half.  Kait made a nice save near the end to knot the victory.

GAME 2 - The team faced Spacecoast next.  Megan W. opened the scoring about 10 minutes into the game off a nice feed from Reagan.  The girls held Spacecoast easily most of the game, but a long ball played into the penalty area late in the game resulted in a questionable penalty kick call, that Spacecoast converted to tie the game, which is how it ended.

GAME 3 - In the weekend's final game, the girls faced a highly motivated CBS Cyclones team looking to avenge their loss to the Heat at Ormond Beach in January.  Unfortunately, the girls were outplayed from start to finish.  CBS scored twice in both halves, and throroughly dominated the game.  We look forward to facing them again later this month and put out a much more inspired effort.
