Sting eliminated at regional tourney

BOISE - Halle Eborall scored midway into the second half on a free kick from 25 yards out, but the Coeur d'Alene Sting under-13 team was unable to advance after a 7-1 loss to Crossfire Premier 97 in the Region IV Championship at Simplot Field on Wednesday.

Coeur d'Alene finishes the tournament 1-2 in pool play.

"They were an exceptional team," said Coeur d'Alene coach Jason Roop of the Crossfire. "I wouldn't be surprised if both teams we played met for the title. They're both very good teams. The girls played really hard and came back and fought, but the other teams were good enough that we couldn't get it done."

Santa Rosa, who defeated Coeur d'Alene 6-0 on Tuesday, also advanced after beating the Oregon Rush 3-0.
