FC

Southeast finished the round robin round with a 4-2-0

record (W-L-T) yet both "losses" came in

penalty kicks after tie games. Their record placed them

fourth heading into the medal round where Morton's team

defeated FC Northeast 2-1. Another 2-1 win over FC North

placed FC Southeast into the final against FC Pacific

Coast. Despite a tense match and overtime, neither team

could find the winning goal and shared the gold medal

after a 0-0 tie in the championship.

Morton

played in all nine games, scored one goal and tallied one

assist while playing mostly center midfield. She began

her trip up top as a forward but was moved to the

midfield after an injury to a teammate. The week was not

limited to soccer. Morton and her teammates found the

time to site see, shop, and hit the beaches. Her parents

were also able to attend the event. She was one of only

two players from the state of Georgia to participate, the

only player from the Atlanta area. Congratulations to

Newnan High's Lady Cougar captain on a great summer trip.
