16 AUG 2010 - Congratulations to Chelsea G99 as they reached the finals at the 2010 United Cup!

The girls did well enough in pool play to earn themselves a top-seed in the semi-finals, making it three tournaments in a row where they've advanced as far. Good thing too, because the final game of the bracket proved to be somewhat lackluster, dropping the game 0-2.

The semifinals was a rematch with TV Hawks, a game where previously the girls came from behind to win. With another trip to the finals on the line, the team played hard and netted an important - and ultimately game-winning - goal just seconds before halftime.

The second half brought more excitement and enthusiasm with Chelsea slotting two more goals for a 3-0 victory, and climbed into a place in the finals for the second time this summer season.

On a late Monday afternoon, the G99's played perhaps their most impressive game of the summer. Full of heart, teamwork, and resiliency, Chelsea battled Arsenal FC, a team that had scored 34 goals in the tournament games prior, to a 0-1 halftime score.

The second half was more battling, and intense effort. Though the girls didn't manage to win the game on the scoreboard, they did secure an inspiring showing on the field, and could hold their heads up high with pride knowing they gave everything they could, including a few bumps and bruises!

Congratulations Girls! We are incredibly proud of you!

22 JUL 2010 - Congratulations to the Chelsea G99's for winning the Carlsbad Cup! In an exciting (and long) 3 day tournament, the G99 team came away with a hard fought 2-1 victory over West Coast FC in the finals on Monday evening. After going up 2-0 at the half, the girls fought to the finish and came away with a well-deserved tournament championship.

Ironically, the weekend started out with the same opponent, but different result, losing to West Coast 0-2. From there the group rebounded, with a refreshing pool party, and came back out to the field ready to go, winning 2-0, to set up a make-it-or-break-it third game on Sunday morning.

Chelsea took the lead 1-0 early in the second-half against the Oceanside Breakers, who only needed a tie to advance to the semi-finals. While the Breakers created several quality chances to even the score late in the game, the goalkeeping prowess of Izzy Magana proved to be equal to the challenge.

This victory set up a Monday afternoon showdown with TV Hawks, a team who had won all three of their preliminary games, and had yet to give up a goal. The Chelsea girls found themselves down early in the match, 0-1. Even after the girls tied the game, a late goal made the game 1-2 at the half.

Pumped up and confident, the girls came out ready to play the second half, but gave up yet another goal to find themselves down 1-3, and the parents pondering an early return home. Then the magic happened.

In the 20 minutes that remained, against a team who hadn't given up any goals in the preceding games, the Chelsea girls lit up the scorecard by netting 5 goals, including a hat-trick by Sierra Chhoeung, punting the final tally to 6-3, and catapulting the team into the finals.

In the final game, the girls were able to avenge their earlier loss to West Coast and sealed up their victory with two outstanding goals, and a dynamite performance by goalkeeper Emma Deane.

Congratulations Girls! We are so proud of you! Whoo-Whoo!

04 FEB 2010 - As the G99's fall season came to an end this weekend during the Cal South State Cup Tournament in San Bernardino, the Chelsea players and families came together to honor a So Cal Blues player - Katie Hawley #3. Katie aka KitKat, 9, was diagnosed with Stage 3, High Risk, Ganglioneuroblastoma, nodular cancer, in August 2009. Currently, Katie is undergoing stem cell chemo at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and fighting each day for her life.

Katie's amazing Mom, Mary Kay, was so generous to send the entire team bracelets which were created to honor Katie's fight against cancer. The bracelet says, "Katie Hawley #3 Climb The Mountain." Each Chelsea player received a bracelet before their first game on Saturday and sat and talked a bit about Katie's story and the battle she has been going through and the battle which lies ahead in the days and months to come. Despite the sad story, there were no sad faces... the girls were so proud to wear her bracelet! So proud, they would put the bracelet in a shin guard when the referees made them remove them before the game.

Throughout the State Cup weekend, the Chelsea girls talked often about Katie, made her handmade cards and took pictures showing their support of her fight. Several photos are shown here. We hope the photos bring a smile to Katie's face and inspire other teams, players and those within the soccer community and beyond to reach out to Katie and her family during this challenging time.

To learn more about Katie's story, please visit http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/katiehawley. You will be inspired by Katie's fight to live, her devoted and loving parents, her ever-growing support system and the hundreds of strangers who have stumbled upon her story one way or another and offer their prayers and support to the Hawley family each and every day.

The Chelsea SC G99 team looks forward to seeing Katie back on the soccer field soon! Keep Climbing Katie, you can do it!

06 SEP 2009 - Chelsea SC G99 put together a great showing over the weekend, reaching the championship game of the Chelsea Kick Off Tournament.

Chelsea played Canyon PSA GU-10 to a 1-1 tie before falling in an exciting PK round (4-2) after two 5-minute overtime periods in the championship contest Sunday.

The G99s got a great show of support from several players on Chelsea SC G95 Black, which huddled with the team before the PK round - the first of which the G99s have ever been a part of.

Congratulations girls on a hard-fought tournament and a special thank you to the G95 girls for showing their support!

01 JUN 2009 - Congratulations to Chelsea G99 for winning their flight in the Irvine Memorial Classic Tournament.

The girls won their first two games and needed a tie or a win in the third game to advance to the finals. In an exciting third game, after scoring first, they fell behind 2-1, but were saved by a late goal to even the score and propel the team to the finals.

Led by a strong defense and solid goalkeeping between the posts, only 5 goals were allowed over the 4 games. In the finals against FC Long Beach, the girls battled from a one-goal deficit to score three second-half goals to win the championship. Strong play in the midfield supported the scoring and defensive efforts and great battles from the forwards led the team to outscore their opponents and lead them to victory.

Great job girls!
