The Santa Clara Sporting 94 team returned from Pomona (SoCal) with a victory over SC Sol 95 (Arizona), a draw against Albion (SoCal), and a loss against West Coast (SoCal) to finish the 2011 Far West Regional League in 2nd place overall. Santa Clara was the top ranked team from NorCal in the Fall league and won their bracket over the NW Nationals (Region IV champs), PAC Tigres (past Region IV champs), SC Sol 95 (Arizona State Champs), and Soreno White (Arizona).
The team leaves this Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) to compete at the College Surf Cup Tournament in San Diego. Sporting will compete in the U17 Super Group in what has to be the one of the most competitive tournaments ever assembled. Santa Clara will face Soreno 95 (Arizona), Surf White (SoCal), and local NorCal rivals the PAC Tigres in bracket play. Last year, Sporting and PAC fought for the championship match and this year Surf placed both NorCal teams in the same bracket. The other three brackets are just as competitive and the U17 champion will be very deserving when the trophy is awarded on Sunday afternoon. The team is looking forward to the competition and showcasing their skills in front of college coaches.
