Over 10,000 teams throughout the US entered the USYS Presidents Cup back in March. Today, CSSC Phoenix was one of two teams in the National Finals competing for a title at the U16 level. Through 63 minutes of play, the teams traded chances and shared time in controlling the run of play. South Dakota scored on a late goal off of a set piece to take a 1-0 lead. For the final 17 minutes, Phoenix pushed numbers into the attack and created multiple last-minute opportunities. They were unable to get to equalizer and fell short by a score of 1-0.
Coming from a small town in PA, these girls continue to put their name and the CSSC soccer club on the map throughout the country. These girls should be incredibly proud of their achievements and continual growth, ranging from competing at small in-state leagues beginning at U9 to competing in a national title game eight years later. They've traveled all over the US and represented our club with class. Congratulations, ladies.🐦🔥
