Although Belle Vernon won tournament gold, Yough, a lower seed in the tourney, surprised everyone by defeating second-seeded Penn Hills and took second place in the Ringgold Ram Slam Girls’ Soccer Tournament on February 16.

The event featured an exciting field of participating girls’ soccer teams. Indoor soccer gives players an opportunity to keep their skills sharp and legs strong during the months when snow is usually covering the outdoor pitch. The Ringgold gymnasium is one of the larger floors in the area and offers a good venue for the sport. The other obvious advantage is that spectators are much closer to the play than in outdoor soccer. It’s fast and exciting—almost a different game played with a different ball that has less bounce.

Fifteen teams took part in the tournament and placed in three brackets with some schools fielding two teams. The preliminary games ran all day with each team playing at least two games (double elimination).
