U15s Are Back-To-Back National Champions

  • March 28, 2017

GERMANTOWN, MARYLAND – It is not easy to repeat.  Coming off last year’s U14 National Championship in Redmond, Washington the current U15s knew they would have a target on their back.  The U15s finished the regular season with 15 wins – 2 losses – 3 ties including 50 goals for and only 10 goals against.

Coming into late June, they received a top seed for the group stage of the ECNL regional playoffs.  They played the group stage to 2 wins and a tie against strong teams including PDA (NJ), CASL (NC), and Crossfire (WA).  this was good enough to qualify for the quarterfinals setting up a battle against Concorde Fire.  Slammers made handy work of Concorde winning convincingly 5-0.

In spite of the potential pressure of being reigning champions approaching the finals, the Slammers focused on fundamentals in Maryland which was the core to a successful season.  They beat both West Coast FC (CA) in the semis and FC Stars of Massachusetts (MA) in the finals with a combined 7 goals for and only 1 against.

Congrats to the whole group for staying focused and continuing to develop.

 

Back-to-Back Champions Girls!!!

 

Success is well deserved.
