Standings and official results will appear on this page as well as we play our matches.

I’ve updated the Google Calendar with field locations for the away games and one slight time change (a game shifted 30 minutes)

Also – no friendlies this weekend (Jan 31st) given the number of players who cannot make it. Still working to setup matches for Feb 7th and/or 8th.

GO LUNACHICKS!

The schedule for our first post season tournament is out. Looks like we got some nice time slots and no 8AM matches! Here’s what we have so far:

• Sat 11/15 9:30AM McKee Road Park #4 – Wear BLUE
• Sat 11/15 1:00PM McKee Road Park #4 – Wear YELLOW
• Sun 11/16 9:30AM McKee Road Park #2 – Wear BLUE
• And if we win our group – we advance directly to the final:
• Sun 11/16 2:00PM Ramblewood #11A – Wear BLUE

If the schedule changes, I’ll update everyone ASAP. All matches except the final will be at McKee Road Park. Here are directions to the McKee, which is right of I-485 South/West:

• Directions from the Mebane Soccer Complex to McKee Road Park
• Directions from Mebane to the DoubleTree Hotel
• Directions from the DoubleTree Hotel to McKee Road Park
• Directions from McKee Road Park to RambleWood Park

Here are the street addresses for each park and the hotel for those of  you with GPS systems, and each complex name links to the field map for that complex:

• Charlotte Doubletree Hotel – Airport – 6300 Morrison Boulevard, Charlotte, NC, 28211
• McKee Road Park – 4101 McKee Rd, Charlotte, NC 28270
• Ramblewood Park – 10200 Nations Ford Rd, Charlotte, NC 28273

Driving time from Mebane to the McKee Road Park is just over two hours, so some of you may choose to only stay Saturday night. Please try to arrive at the complex no later than 9:00AM as we play at 9:30AM. I expect warm-up space to be limited, so we won’t need to be there an hour ahead of time. 30-45 minutes ahead will be plenty. Make sure the girls bring BOTH jerseys to every match in case we need to change due to a color conflict.

• Sat 11/22 10:30AM vs SSA Crush – Bryan Park 05 – Wear BLUE
• Sat 11/22 1:00PM vs CASL Cyclones – Bryan Park 06 – Wear BLUE
• Sun 11/23 9:15AM U12 Girls Blue Semifinal – Bryan Park 05 or 06
  • If we finish 1st or 2nd in our group Saturday
• Sun 11/23 11:45AM U12 Girls Consolation (BP05) or Championship (BP06)
  • Consolation if we don’t make semifinals OR Championship if we win a semifinal

If the schedule changes, I’ll let everyone know ASAP. We face a team we played last November in the Clash (SSA Crush) and also the CASL Cyclones, who we played at Challengefest in the semifinals. If we finish 1st or 2nd in our group – we’ll play in a semifinal at 9:15AM Sunday. Otherwise we’ll play the consolation match at 11:45AM.

All the matches are at the main part of the Bryan Park Soccer Complex. Instead of going straight after the railroad tracks, turn left towards the Dynamo Stadium. Fields 5 and 6 are at the far end of the complex – go past the concession stand and keep walking – you’ll be at field 6. Field 5 will be on your left. Here is a map of the Bryan Park Complex.

Getting to Bryan Park is easy – most of you have been there before. Here are directions using I-40 West to I-840 North. Take Rt 70 West to Hwy 29 North. Exit at Hicone Rd, turn left and follow the signs. The address is 6105 Townsend Rd, Greensboro, NC, 27401. If your GPS can’t find it, try using Browns Summit, NC, 27214 for the city (same street address).

You can usually get to Bryan Park in just over 30 minutes. Make sure the girls bring BOTH jerseys to every match in case we need to change due to a color conflict. If the main parking lot is full, there is an auxiliary lot farther down the main road. Worst case, park at the Annex and take the trail through the woods.

NOTE – One interesting thing we experienced last year was a frost delay. If there is frost on the fields, they will delay the early matches. While we don’t have 8AM matches, any delay pushes the whole schedule back. We’ll keep everyone posted if anything like this is expected this year.
