Members of the U11 PAC Strikers, a select soccer team from Falls Church, pose after their second place finish in last weekend’s tournament. The Hunt Valley Classic tournament, held in Warrenton, Va., featured 250 teams. Though they lost in the finals of the Elite bracket, the Strikers supplied a good deal of late-game drama. Claire Trevisan scored with 15 seconds to play to tie the game and send the match to overtime. However, the Strikers could not prevail in the extra frame. The team consists of: Kelly Baucom, Erika Eckrod, Maggie Farnsworth, Kiersten Gillis,  Ashley Jean, Grace McGuire, Kelly Mills, Rebecca Moot, Sarah Nicholson, Emily Schnider, Ashley Sienicki, Kelli Osgood and Claire Trevisan.
