Pierre Governors Integral in National Championships

Pierre Governors Integral in National Championships

Over the past weekend, the South Dakota Dynamo claimed a second straight National Cup winning 5-0 in the championship game. Once again this year, Pierre had plenty of presence in accomplishing the task.

Five Pierre Governors helped claim a second National Cup for South Dakota United as Ryann Barry, Grace Richter, Gracelyn Taylor, Brianna Sargent and Ireland Templeton all had a hand in the title, whether on the score sheet or on the defensive side of the ball. Barry, who scored four goals in the championship game, says she couldn’t have done that without her teammates…

Richter, who was part of the high powered offensive side of the ball, joined the team this year and says it’s been amazing to play with the Dynamo…

Sargent, who plays with Templeton and Taylor on defense says it is crazy how well the Dynamo all play together…

Templeton echoes the statement from Sargent especially playing a few different positions…

And Taylor says it’s an overwhelming feeling to be back-to-back national champions…

The Pierre Governors begin practice on August 1 with the opening games scheduled for August 12 and 13, both at home. You can hear more from the five girls below.
