Su Valley tops CIA for Borealis title

The Cook Inlet Academy soccer team lost 2-0 to Susitna Valley on Saturday in the championship match of the Borealis Conference tournament in Anchorage.

“They ended up with an undefeated season and deserved to be crowned champions with their performance today,” CIA coach Kenny Leaf wrote in an email of the Rams.

Leaf said his team was never able to mount an attack against Su Valley’s back line. Our Lady of the Valley was third in the tourney, while Lumen Christi was fourth.
