After a deadlock 0-0 match in which no team was able to find a breakthrough, it was once again down to penalty kicks to decide the fate of your Boys in Blue. Michael Stone came up with yet another herculean-effort as he propelled Boca Raton Raton FC to the South Florida Championship.

“We played a very hard match,” said Stone after the game. “All my teammates worked hard to preserve the 0-0 score and when it was my turn to help them, I was able to come up with the save that gave us the title.”

Boca Raton FC will now travel to Lakeland, Florida to take on the UPSL Central Florida Champions, Florida Tropics SC on Saturday, July 6.
