Photos: Empire Cup at GCC

By Howard B. Owens

The Empire Cup and College Showcase is under way at Genesee Community College this weekend.

The event brings together more than 50 colleges and universities from throughout Upstate New York for nonstop soccer.

From what I saw from my brief time at GCC today, soccer fans might enjoy attending Sunday. It's a pretty high level of competition.

The event was moved to GCC from the Batavia Sports Park on Bank Street Road because those fields remain heavily saturated from recent rains.

Its not college teams Howard - its 17 and under and 16 and under "premier" teams playing in a tournament that is attended by a lot of college coaches for scouting purposes.
