There's nothing like arriving at a tournament sleep deprived and with frayed nerves. But Tulis' U13 girls took this is their stride. After an extremely long and grueling journey - battling flight delays, extended layovers, and only a few hours sleep before their first game - the jet lagged girls came on strong in their first of two European tournaments this past July. Running on pure adrenaline and excitement, the girls did not let a ball get by them for 4 straight games and won their division at the Dana Cup Tournament in Denmark with 24 goals for and 0 against. Their amazing scoreless streak saw them through to the semi-final game in which they held on for yet another shutout. At this point, the girls forgot all about their weariness and were pumped and ready for their final game. Their opponents were a very strong team from the USA and after an extremely hard fought two way battle; the Tulis girls came away with a 1:0 loss and brought home the tournament's silver cup.
