COLORADO SPRINGS — At a sold-out stadium, both sides are rooting for the same outcome… a championship trophy.
Both teams are chanting their team name and the public was showing their competitive spirit!
Dan Heron is rooting for the Switchbacks. He tells me how fun the journey has been for both teams to get to the championships.
“It’s been absolutely amazing that they are in the championship right now. However, we’ve got to give credit to Rhode Island. First-year team, absolutely a Cinderella run,” he said.
But for Sylas Seusea, a high school student who plays soccer himself. He tells News5 that this win encourages him for his next game.
“It’s just inspiring for my character and really just makes me want to be a better player. I’m definitely going to be way more aggressive on the pitch when I do enter the field, and I’m going to train a whole lot more.”
His dream?
Playing on the Switchbacks team one day.
“I want to play like that, and hopefully, eventually, I can get on the Switchbacks field too, which I would really like and appreciate.”
The Switchbacks won the championship game! The final score was 3-0.
