Hot Pink Panthers 2001

As of Sunday afternoon, our very own Hot Pink Panthers are the proud (and beaten up) Over-30 National Coed Cup Champions. In a grueling three-day tournament in Dallas, the Hot Pink Panthers lost their first game 0:2 (against Express). This early loss was followed by 1:0 (against Olympia I) and 7:0 (against Black Hawk) wins in the other two preliminary games. On Sunday morning, the Hot Pink Panthers clinched a place in the final with a 2:0 win over the Killer Ducks. The final was played against Express (a first round opponent). After a tough game and a scoreless tie in regulation and the first 15 minute overtime period, Nelson Rodriguez scored about 7 minutes into the second overtime period. The final minutes went by as slow as hell, but as the final whistle blew, the Hot Pink Panthers went straight into Seventh Heaven. We not only won for ourselves, but also for our league and our state association!
