When? Where?

U16/2005 Preview

Semifinals

Weston FC vs. Utah Royals FC - AZ, July 16, 5 pm (EDT)

This is going to be a great game. It will likely come down to a midfield battle. Weston wants the ball and wants to move it quickly between the midfield trio. The Florida side showed their quality in the win over Tophat. Abriella Moss, Jada Tuffin, and Ashley Pennie were standouts in that win. Julianna Harris was a standout in the attack.

Utah Royals has plenty of talent to make this a must-see for college coaches. Anna Castenfelt had plenty of eyes on her during the playoffs in Oceanside and she lived up to the billing. Hope Leyba was the standout in the quarterfinal win.

Cincinnati United CUP vs. Oakwood, July 16, 5 pm (EDT)

Cincinnati is unbeaten this season - regular, showcase, and playoffs. The team has not suffered a loss in Girls Academy play in 2020/2021. It’s an impressive run of results that helped the team grab this spot in North Carolina. There were plenty of standouts in Oceanside from CUP. Kennedy Clark had a game for herself when she willed two goals late. Tamia Graham was unstoppable at times. Ava Arengo was the engine of the team in the midfield. They’ll need to all be in top form against a talented Oakwood team.

Oakwood earned a spot at the semifinals after a wild win over Colorado Rush in the quarterfinal round. After going through pool play without conceding a goal, Oakwood gave up three to Colorado Rush in the quarterfinal. The Oakwood attack had the last laugh though, and the attack will once again be on display in North Carolina. After scoring 15 goals in four games in Oceanside, CUP will need to slow down the Oakwood attack to have a chance in this one.

Why are you that parent

Ignore the dip**** who cannot even punctuate. Thank you for the info. Go Weston!

no one cares about Weston, gal is a second-rate league.

Haha sure

Keep telling yourself that , but it sure ain’t kickball

No one cares , except the 50 + division 1 college coaches looking to stock their rosters with kids who can actually play

Good luck to tophat img and Weston!

Representing the southeast

Utah Royals is a good club, but would be an average ECNL club. They will be mid tier in the ECNL next year , but have like 5 final four teams. Weston is trying too hard to be relevant, final four GA but wouldn't 3-4th choice in Florida. FESA, TBU and Prime are all better

Legends, Sporting, Beach were considered the top clubs left in GA and they all pulley's out of GA nationals. Take Okl. Energy and Royals and the GA is even worse next year. Weston u16 is a very good team but the league is not anything to tout

This is the bvllsh1t narrative you want to go with? Ok, whatever. I don't care and certainly the college coaches don't care.

Weston plays a better style of soccer then almost all clubs in the SE ECNL.

I've watched plenty of the ECNL games, you forget how many were streamed over Covid....Long on talent, athleticism, selfish individual play, and kick and chase soccer. Very short on tactics, possession, technical skills, off ball movement, and fitness.

These are the facts.

Coaches not scouting these finals cause it is “second tier”= zero

lower level leagues = low level exposure

Yes he is that parent living through his daughter. Just one of the many parents at Weston who will do anything to get an advantage for their unworthy D. Not one of the players listed will make an impact in college so enjoy living in the moment and drinking the kool aid. The one doesn't even make an impact in GAL such a joke !

Miserable to confirm youre style of play comment is the truth.
