SSA Rapids - Spring 2011 - Another impressive season
In a 2-0 upset over the first-place ASA Attack at Arundel High School on June 12, the U17 Seneca Rapids toppled the standings to advance to Division 3 of the NCSL (8-1-0) after an injury-plagued season.
Two-time State Cup quarter-finalists under Head Coach Lance Van Winter, the Rapids' championship run in the NCSL capped a year of near-misses that included finalist appearances in both the Richmond Capital Classic in November and the Baltimore March Mania tournament. The Rapids finished their NCSL season with the best goal-differential in Division 4 (32-4).
