Net Six and Chill (8-1-0) vs. Peaked in High School (7-2-1) – Saturday, September 12, 2020
#1 seed Net Six and Chill won the Lincoln Park TURF Coed Rec 8v8 Soccer League Championship, defeating #3 seed Peaked in High School, 1-0 Saturday afternoon. After starting the regular season with a tough 1-0 loss to Peaked in High School, Net Six and Chill ripped off eight consecutive victories to claim the league title (and long-sleeve championship shirts)! Jack McCormick was the game’s hero with his game-winning goal. But the story of this game was Net Six and Chill’s defense and stellar goalkeeping from Charles Dotson that kept Peaked in High School away from the net. The game could have gone either way, but it just was not meant to be for Peaked in High School on this rainy Saturday afternoon. It was an amazing run to the championship game that came up just short for Peaked in High School. We look forward to seeing them back on the pitch in the upcoming Fall season contending for another league title!
