We had a fun weekend watching Adeline and the Steel City FC metro team compete at the Nike Challenge Cup Tournament in Columbus, Ohio. The ladies played hard and left it all out on the field, but came up just a bit short in the final, falling 0-2 to Ambassadors FC.

Steel City FC brought home some serious hardware back this weekend. Adeline scored the championship goal deep into the second half, giving the Pittsburgh ladies a 2-1 (F) edge over Red Bank Elite and first place in the U14 Girls division of the Europa Turf Cup in Philadelphia.

Congrats to Steel City FC’s U14 Metro team for bringing home the championship from the Hempfield Fall Classic tournament in Lancaster, PA. The girls played strong all weekend long! Addie struck a timely goal to help give Steel City the 2-0 edge over Eagle FC in the championship match.

We had an amazing night at Founder’s Field for Steel City FC vs. Pittsburgh Riveters. The state of women’s soccer here in Pittsburgh is strong! It was a great game — these ladies played with such intensity — and Adeline got the chance to see the action up close as a ball girl.

It was a rainy morning for soccer, but Steel City FC played hard and tough to a 0-0 draw with Pittsburgh FC. Addie had a couple shots on goal but couldn’t get one to drop in.

These girls played their hearts out this weekend to take home the U13 championship at the WAGS (Women & Girls in Soccer) Memorial Tournament in Alexandria, VA. Addie fed the assist for the championship-winning goal as time expired to give Steel City the dramatic win. Great work girls!

Lots of fun exploring Savanah, GA, while on our way to Florida. The kids had never seen a phone booth before and I had the most amazing Father’s Day brunch…chicken and waffle tacos!

We are off to the Daddy Daughter Dance!
