A well- rounded attack scored 25 goals scored and a stingy, aggressive defense delivered 7 shutouts-- allowing just 4 goals all season.  In the Postseason Tournament, the offense carried the day by scoring wins of 4-1 in the Semi-Finals and 5-1 in the Finals to make Los Al 159 history. 

2002 Boys U10 'B' Cerritos Tournament team achieved the unexpected. To reach the finals, the 'B' team tied Manhattan Beach 0-0, defeated Cerritos 4-0 and lost to the Palos Verde 'A' 0-4. This record was enough to send them to the quarter finals and play the Los Alamitos 'A' team. This exciting game was a true test for the defense on both sides. After regular play the score was 1-1. The game was decided by kicks from the mark. The 'B' team's goalkeeper blocked three kicks while his team went on to score three kicks, the final score was 2-1. The 'B' team was on their way to the semi-finals. They had to face the Los Alamitos 'C' team and managed to beat them 2-0. The 'B' team was matched with the Palos Verde team again in the finals. This team did not allow any goals scored against them the entire tournament. Palos Verde won the championship game 5-0. The 'B' team took home second place medals.
