The Island Coast Soccer Alliance U12 boys’ team, known as the Dominators, captured the U.S. Club Soccer State Cup Championship on March 26 in Sanford. The title victory was highlighted by a last-second goal that defeated the Pinecrest Blue U12 2-1. The Dominators previously had won three other tournaments, including a Thanksgiving weekend event in Plantation and a Shootout in Naples. The championship trail began in September by winning a qualifying tournament that advanced them to the “Super Group” that required them to play higher ranked teams in Florida.
