Congratulations to the Dakota United Hawks Adapted CI and PI Soccer Teams!

Adapted Soccer CI- The CI Team but together three incredible team defensive efforts as they shutout all three teams they faced by identical 3-0 scores to claim the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP! Friday night the Hawks defeated Buffalo/St. Michael/Monticello and then on Saturday it was the South Suburban Jets in the Semis and the Blazing Cats in the finals. The Blazing Cats had defeated the Hawks three straight years in the CI Soccer State Championship, but this time the Hawks would not be denied!

Adapted Soccer PI- The PI team won their State Quarterfinal game Friday night 6-0 to advance to the State Semis. Despite some very gritty and resilient play, the Hawks lost two tough games on Saturday to finish in 4th place in State.
