SALT LAKE CITY Maybe with the exception of their wildest dreams, no one associated with the Utah Avalanche s Under-13 boys soccer club woke up last week thinking they d return from a trip to North Carolina with a national championship in tow.
Life is sometimes much better than dreams, though.
The Sandy-based soccer club that launched a boys program to join its highly successful all-girls program just seven years ago finished off a 10-0 record with a win over San Diego SC 3-0 Friday afternoon in Greensboro, North Carolina, to claim the first national title in club history.
Surprised? No one more than the players and coaches.
