They saved their best for last.
Capping a stellar four-day run at the Nike Crossfire Challenge in Redmond, the Washington Rush select soccer squad won a pair of thrillers Monday to claim a title in the mens’ U19 gold group.
The team, which counts Coupeville High School senior Zane Bundy as a captain, finished the tourney with a 3-0-2 record.
After winning its group, the Rush faced off with Crossfire Oregon 97 Black in the semifinals.
Oregon came in to the match with a flawless 3-0 mark from group play, but couldn’t get a ball past the Rush and fell 1-0.
That sent Bundy and Co. into the finals against Tynecastle FC, and the Rush repeated the earlier success with another 1-0 victory to grab the championship banner.
The tourney, which drew teams from all across the western states, as well as Canada, is a showcase where players get a chance to play in front of college scouts.
