U15 Girls are Regional Finalists!!

The U15 girls had a great Regional Championship tournament - they were 3-0 in group play - they beat some very good teams from Kentucky (1-0), Minnesota (3-1) and Nebraska (2-0). The semi-final was a hard fought battle with Illinois and the girls won that game 3-1. They played KCFC from Kansas in the final and lost a heartbreaker 1-0. We are so proud of you girls!
