Their name got tweaked a bit, but their style of play has remained intact.
Now known as the Whidbey Islanders GU18 soccer squad (last season they were a GU17 team), the select booters opened a new season with a strong showing at a heat-soaked tournament off-Island over the weekend.
In addition to their three games, in which they split with the Timber Barons and dropped close contests to the two teams that faced off in the final — the Rainer Valley Slammers and Highland Premier FC — the Islanders also got the chance to attend a Seattle Reign FC professional game.
The Reign are headlined by U.S. National team star Megan Rapinoe.
