Central Cup Qualifier

The Tempo Team went to Adrian, Michigan to compete in the Central Cup Qualifier. The team came up just short of the top 4 standing needed to earn an automatic bid to the Central Cup in March, but still earned a chance at invitation through their performance. Some key takeaways:

  • Highest Cup Qualifier finish in Michigan Tempo history.

  • All three losses came to teams that finished top 4, including 2 to the tournament runner-up, Milwaukee Gold.

  • 2-0 vs. Tier 3 opponents.
