Fredericksburg, VA (August 2007) - While the inaugural season of action in the Premier Arena Soccer League proved to be extremely successful for the F.C. Fredericksburg Generals, a heart-breaking loss to the Charlotte Swarm in the Division Championship left a bitter taste in their mouth. During the regular season, the Generals led the nation in goals scored (89), goals against (29) and tied for the highest winning percentage (.875). After cruising past the ACES of Charleston in the Division Semi-Final, the Generals traveled to Charlotte to face the Swarm in the final. The Swarm utilized the home field advantage to win 7-5 and capture the title. "Charlotte proved to be the better team on that day. They took an early lead and we had to play catch up the rest of the game. Charlotte was a very good squad but we didn’t play our best," said Head Coach Eric Dutt. The Generals look to translate their success in year one into even more opportunities in year two.
The Premier Arena Soccer League has awarded the 2008 PASL Winter League International Championships to the Fredericksburg Generals. This event will showcase the top 16 teams in the PASL at the Fredericksburg Field House on March 14-15, 2008. "The Fredericksburg Field House has been an amazing venue. I truly believe it is one of the nicest indoor facilities on the east coast," said Dutt. "We feel the Field House is the perfect place to show off the top talent in the PASL."
In 2006-07, the F.C. Fredericksburg Generals lead the PASL in average home attendance with 720 fans per game. "This is what we are most proud about. This shows everyone else what we already knew; that our fans are the best in the country. We look to provide even more of a family-fun experience in year two." For the upcoming season, the Generals will offer opportunities for fans to get more involved. Get in on the action early, season ticket packages available now.
