Synergy Futsal 2013 SFAL Champions!!!!

Synergy's Varsity Futsal team completed an undefeated season by winning  the  SFAL 2013 Futsal Championship vs Kittridge.  It is the second consecutive year that Synergy has won a Championship.  Last year a team composed primarily of the same players won the Junior Varsity Championship also going undefeated.

The future looks bright.

In another note.  The Girls Varsity lost in the semifinals derailing their chances for an all Synergy Varsity Championship.  Good job by all four teams.
