New England Futsal reports that Massachusetts Futsal teams obtained
fantastic results at the 2005 NATIONAL FUTSAL CHAMPIONSHIPS held in
Anaheim, California this month.

Massachusetts Futsal was represented by 14 teams that qualified for
the United States Futsal Federation's 20th Annual NATIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIPS and came away with some very impressive results.

THE PRIDE FC U-10 BOYS of Fall River, COACHED BY MATT ALBERTINI,
took
the Bronze Medal after dropping a 2 x 0 score against the very
talented MACSA U-10 Boys in the semifinals, who eventually won the
Gold Medal in that boys division.

THE NEW BEDFORD PITBULLS U-12 GIRLS, COACHED BY REV. DOGBA BASS,
took
the Gold Medal after four days of stiff competition that culminated
by
defeating PRINCETON UNITED in the finals.

THE BLACK WIDOWS U-16 GIRLS from Essex County, COACHED BY BRUCE
DIVER,
took the Bronze Medal after defeating a well coached FUTSAL
FANTASTIC
squad. The Black widows have reached this level twice now in as many
years and came away as medalist both times.

SHOOTING STARS U-16 GIRLS from Natick, COACHED BY RICK ZANCHI, took
the GOLD MEDAL, after some great competition during the qualifying
rounds and a wonderful show at the finals against a well talented
Diablo Valley FC team. The SHOOTING STARS, who had previously won
TWO
GOLD MEDALS IN THE U-14 DIVISIONS in the years of 2002 and 2003,
added
a third star to its history.

THE NEW ENGLAND FUTSAL MEN from Framingham, COACHED BY BILL SAMPAIO,
took home the BRONZE MEDAL, after playing undefeated during
qualifying
rounds, defeating MACSA FC, PRO-SALA FC and DEPT. LAGUNA during the
qualifying rounds. New England Futsal, after an electrifying 2 x 2
semifinal against SERCORP, fell short on the penalty shootout to the
team that would eventually win the Mens Open Division.

Bill Sampaio, the USFF Director of Coaches and President of New
England Futsal was very pleased with the team participation
representing Futsal from their home state of Massachusetts at this
year's National Championships and he is already planning for this
coming 2006 Championships that also slated to take place in Anaheim,
CA.
