The 11U girls Seahawks are heading to the Massachusetts Tournament of Champions

FALL RIVER — The Swansea Somerset Youth Soccer girls team is heading to the final round.

The 11U Seahawks are heading to the Massachusetts Tournament of Champions this weekend after recently winning the SouthCoast Division title. The Seahawks completed the season with a record of 8-1-1 after beating Sandwich 6-2 in the division championship game.

The Seahawks U11 girls team consists of towns from Swansea, Somerset, Dighton, Berkley and Rhode Island.

Members of the Seahawks include Violet Woodsmall, Sydney Braga, Vittoria Diblasio, Beatriz Otoni, Hannah Rapoza, Evie Paulos, Hayden Rebello, Aaliyah Traore, Sarah Baker, Vivian Woodsmall, Riley Golden, Eva Laurence, Laiylah Traore, Dylan Lopes and Olivia Marques.

Coaches are Matt Rebello, Matthew Rapoza and Jeremy Woodsmall.
