After countless games, two major tournaments and a huge come-from-behind victory, the U19 Girls Football team brought home gold at the 2017 Saudi Arabia Inter Kingdom Athletic Conference (SAIKAC) championship in Dammam, Saudi Arabia the weekend of December 8, 2018. The two-day culminating SAIKAC tournament of the fall football season was hard fought: tough weather conditions, opposing teams with a deep bench, nagging injuries. But nothing could combat ďŹ erce camaraderie and a tightly-knit football team, treating each other more like family members than players. Congratulations U19 Girls on this incredible achievement!
