Thanks Coach. Your comments are very much appreciated. I didn't get to watch that game as I was over at the U18 Boys, but have heard several reports. Great game between two great teams. Props to all the girls that were on that field. Hope they carry their momentum into the high school season.

A rematch next year for teams that were U18 this year? Are both clubs going to field rare U19 teams? Or do they both have enough U17 players to be basically the same two teams at U18 next year?
CHT is correct; of our roster of 15, only 5 are true U18; the others are sophomores and juniors that I hope to see back for a reunion next year! Of my four years with the club, last year is the only season I've had an entire team of seniors and started with an entirely new team this year; otherwise there's been a lot of continuity from season to season as a few older players rotated out and younger ones rotated in.
This year's team: 5 U18 7 U17 3 U16
I'm not sure about the composition of the USA team, but I'm sure that even if most of them are moving on, there will be others to pick up the torch for the club!
