FC Tucson is a soccer team I follow. It is in the US Soccer League minor league (USL 1), but don't tell my 9 year old grand-daughter, Melody, because there is nothing "minor league" about her love and admiration for her Aunt Amanda's team in Tucson, Arizona. Melody is a soccer player and avid fan of both NM United and FC Tucson.

She traveled to Tucson Saturday - 7 hours one way - with her mom, dad and sister to watch the Quarterfinals for the USL 1 Championship. FC Tucson hosted the Richmond Kickers at the Kino North Stadium. A hard fought game of defense finally broke in favor of the home team when Deri Corfe scored in the 87th minute. Tucson will now go to the semi-finals in Omaha, Nebraska Saturday, November 13th for the Semi-finals. Tucson will face #1 seed Union Omaha who they are 1-4 for the season.

There was good hometown crowd rallying for FC Tucson at the final 2021 home game against Richmond,
Melody waves her team picture with joy for their win.
Deri Corfe, who made the only goal of the game, is one of Melody's favs.
Melody, his #1 fan, gives a hug of appreciation to Charlie Dennis.
