Capital1 Solar Energy nailed its first title since its first foray in women’s football last March, outlasting the fancied Kaya FC-Iloilo, 1-0, to rule the PAGSS Women’s Futsal Cup last Sunday in grand fashion at the University of Asia and Pacific gym.

In a tense-filled finale, Regine Rebosura stood tallest after producing the lone goal in a sequel of brilliance in the second half to cap Capital1 Solar Energy’s dominating show in the event.

The title win was the first for the team co-owned by sisters Milka and Mandy Romero and revered Far Eastern University coach Let Dimzon.

And it was sweet and convincing as the Solar Spikers topped the eliminations without yielding a goal, big thanks to the rock-solid performance of Yasmin Elauria. They eventually won the crown undefeated in six games.

“This win at the Women’s Futsal Cup is a meaningful step for our young Capital1 Solar Strikers team. With a solid mix of experienced players and top-tier coaching, we’re on the right path in building stronger foundations for the team,” Mandy said.

“Our team showed resilience and cohesion from the very start. Congratulations to our players and to all the other teams that participated as we aim to build and support women’s football altogether.”

For her sustained brilliance, Rebosura was the hands down choice for the Adidas Most Valuable Player award while Elauria took the Bootcamp Golden Glove. They also led the Cherry Turf Mythical Five together with Yonah Dela Calzada (Makati FC), Maye Mendaño (Kaya FC-Iloilo) and Regina Aliping (Azzurri FC).

Spearheaded by Rebosura and Elaura, the Solar Strikers launched their title bid with a 2-0 win over Makati FC before following it up with a massive 10-0 win over Forza, 1-0 over Pinay 5 and 5-0 over Beach Hut.

In advancing to the final, the Solar Strikers survived a huge scare from Azzuri, 3-2.

Under the guidance of Dimzon, the Solar Strikers also made heads turn in the PFF Women’s League after finishing a strong third.
