Saturday June 11, 2011
Maryland SoccerPlex

Win lunch with Alexi Lalas!

Who can forget one of the stars of the U.S. 1994 World Cup team? Or the 1995 United States Soccer Athlete of the Year? Or the first modern-era U.S. player to play in the Italian Serie A?

Well, whoever wins the SCORES Cup won't just go home with our Stanley Cup of trophies. They will also get to hang out with the former U.S. bad boy and current ESPN soccer analyst this summer. Don't miss out on this chance!

The ninth annual DC SCORES Cup will be held Saturday, June 11 at the Maryland SoccerPlex. All proceeds from the tournament will benefit DC SCORES' 800 poet-athletes.

The SCORES Cup places teams from the greater DC area -- including corporations, law firms, small businesses and others -- in a World Cup-style, round-robin format. The games are 7v7, co-ed and for adults 21-and-up.
