The Washington Loggers sport nine players from state champion and national high school runner-up Kent, while five other clubs bolster the 21-player roster. Parisa Asgharzadeh, who is fresh off of the Seattle Saracens’ DI club championship victory, is head coach and takes the all-star team to the Northwest Regional Cup Tournament (RCT) in Portland, Ore., this weekend.
Last year, Virginia won the Pittsburgh Challenge Cup (aka Mid-Atlantic Regional Cup Tournament) over Empire City 6-0, and that two-penalty-goal loss is not something the New Jersey/New York City-based team wants to repeat. All-star head coach Tom Feury has assembled a star-studded coaching staff and pooled some good talent for a run at the trophy this weekend.
The Regional Cup Tournaments (RCT) are great scouting venues and billed as the primary means by which athletes can be invited to the Stars & Stripes camp, which brings 100 of the top girls and boys high school players together for a week of elite development.
