Another team on the rise at B.U.S.A. is the ’03 Elite Girls team. Made up of a group of players who gelled throughout their time together in 2015-16, Brower said the girls on this squad developed a special chemistry and were committed to improving all season long. The ‘03 Elite Girls won the Under 13, Alabama Division I Championship in May, defeating Briarwood Soccer Club 5-0 in the semifinals, then defeating Vestavia 4-3 in the finals, a come from behind victory after being down 0-2 at halftime. After a successful regular season, the ’03 Elite Girls also advanced to the Region 3 Regionals in Greenville, South Carolina, when a loss stopped their run in the quarterfinals. “We’re also excited with our ‘03 Elite Girls,” said Brower. “I think they did a really good job of improving as the season went along.”
