Older competition was no match for the Delta Coastal Selects earlier this month, who travelled south and found success at the Desert Classic soccer tournament in Phoenix, Ariz.

The Selects – an under-18 team made up of players from White Rock, Surrey and Delta – played in the U19 division of the tournament, which ran Feb. 9-11 and featured nearly 400 teams from across North America.

The Selects went undefeated in the round-robin portion of the tournament – beating two Arizona teams, as well as one of New Mexico, while earning a draw against an Illinois squad.

In total, the B.C. team allowed just one goal in four games.
