Dean Fioresi Sportswriter Late last month, the Temecula Valley Hawks Soccer Club Girls U-13 Academy team took home the Cal South State Cup in the Presidents’ Division. The team, made up of 16 girls ages 13 and under, dominated their opposition securing the championship with ease. Led by head coach Carlos Basso, the Hawks played three bracket games on their way to the win, outscoring their opponents 10-1, securing a spot in the knockout round. Once there, they continued their winning streak, defeating four other teams and earning a spot in the Finals. Much like the rest of the tournament, the Hawks got off to a hot start in the Finals and never looked back, outscoring their opponents, LA Galaxy, Bakersfield, 3-0 and claiming the Cal South State Cup.

represent the Hawks and Cal South, they will also work on fundraisers to raise money to compete. If you would like to donate to the team or assist in a fundraiser, you can contact Kelley Collins at kllycol@ roadrunner.com.
