Red Hot Sunrise Fire Take Three

Sunrise, Florida (September 17, 2007) – The red-hot Sunrise Fire u15 (92/93) girls burned through the opposition this weekend knocking off three local rivals to finish up the early season in the Florida State League as the only undefeated team.

The girls had a doubleheader on Saturday with Plantation and Team Boca. The Fire defeated the Eagles 1-0 when Haleigh Stremanos knocked in a goal set up by a Tatiana Penagus shot. Goalkeeper Rebecca Rogers picked up the shutout. Later, Sunrise knocked off Team Boca 3-1.

In a Monday night game, the Fire completed the weekend sweep with a 3-1 win over the Weston Fury. Sunrise took a 1-0 lead in the first half on a great one touch volley by Danielle Grossman. Weston tied the match as a direct kick rolled off a Sunrise defender into the back of the net. A hand ball in the box gave Sunrise a PK which Stremanos converted to make it 2-1. In the closing minutes, Penagus took the ball almost the entire field to put the game away at 3-1.
