10/27/2011 - FORT EUSTIS, Va. -- The All-Air Force Men's Soccer Team led by head coach Maj. Derrick J. Weyand took home the gold medal in the 2012 Armed Forces Soccer Championship Tournament Oct. 19 through Monday at Fort Eustis.

Air Force secured the championship with a 1-0 victory over the All-Navy squad in an all-out brawl. The championship round was a battle to the finish.

First-year coach Weyand of Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass., said the win meant everything.

"Our guys worked really hard throughout this tournament and today we made it happen," he said. "I'm so proud of these guys. They deserved this so much."

Last year, Air Force finished in fourth place.

"Leading up to this tournament, we focused on weeks of training, hard work, dedication and commitment." Weyland said. "These guys are amazing. What a great victory."

During the game, both teams appeared to match up well defensively, until the Air Force's offense received a spark from Airman 1st Class Jeremy Reding, Lackland AFB, Texas. Reding, a striker, stepped up and nailed the only goal of the game.

He finished off the Navy with the help of his teammates in the second half to lock down this year's championship.

"Winning this tournament was pretty meaningful. We fought hard all the way through," said Reding. "We came up with a good opportunity and I was just fortunate to score."

Reding added that the Navy was a very tough opponent. "We played them earlier in the round-robin tournament and they were fortunate enough to beat us, but it meant more to us when we came back and finished them off in the finals."

This year's tournament was well supported by all branches of services, especially family members and friends who came out to show support for their team.

"Although our team didn't win today, it's always a pleasure to come out and support team sports like this, especially soccer," said Carmen Peguero, Navy spouse.

The final results for 2012 Armed Forces Soccer Championship Tournament: Air Force 1st place, gold; Navy 2nd place, silver; Army, third place, and the Marines, fourth place.

2011 ARMED FORCES GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP UPDATE

30 September 2011
By Steven Dinote, Armed Forces Sports

NAS Pensacola, FL. With clouds on the horizon, the threat of rain caused much concern to the final day of the Armed Forces Championship. Both Navy and
Marine Corps Men/Women teams were able to get their final game in, but heavy rain forced the much
anticipated Air Force/Army matchup on hold. After three hours of heavy rain, the clouds passed and left the fields soaked.

Prior to the storm, the Navy Women and Marines took the field in their final competition. After a remarkable rally that nearly resulted in a win over the Army the night before, the Marines were unable to fend off the Navy bats as Navy outshined the Marines 11-6. As the clouds slowly crept in, the Marine Corps and Navy men took the field in their final contest. The Marines’ bats were hot and furious as they took a commanding lead into the fourth inning. At the conclusion of the fourth inning, the game was stopped short due to the run-rule as the Marines won their final game 21-1.

Alas, the clouds grew darker over the fields of NAS Pensacola. In the previous three years, the tournament was spared of any rain delay. But sad to see the final day of play, Mother Nature opened up and caused a three hour delay. Once the rain passed, the NAS Pensacola Sports staff diligently moved to get the games ready for play. With the Women’s Tournament already decided after day four, the decision was made to cancel the final Air Force/Army game. However, the Air Force and Army Men’s game was the deciding factor in who walked away with gold.

Looking to stop the Airmen in their run for a three-peat, the Army took early leads and maintained control of the game through the late innings. The Air Force continued to fight and tied the game in the seventh inning to force extra innings. The Army added three runs to cushion their lead during the top of the eighth inning. With the Air Force facing two outs with two runners in scoring position, Air Force’s Kiel Kauffeld of Misawa Air Base, Japan stepped to the plate. With only three hits all tournament, Kauffeld sent the ball screaming over the fence and evened up the score.

With homeruns to spare, Wyoming Air National Guard Staff Sgt. Travis Wollison sent the ball over the fence once again in a solo shot that ended the tournament giving the Air Force their third gold medal in a row. Air Force wins 20-19. The 2011 Armed Forces Softball Championship saw amazing plays, come-frombehind victories, and heartbreak. Air Force Men and Women captured the gold and the Army Men and Women took the silver. The 2011 Championship marked the last year being held at NAS Pensacola, FL. Army will host the 2012 Championship for the next two years.
