In the crossover rounds, Windy City defeated Florida United 2-0, beat Rush Devils 4-1 and finished with a regional win over AIM 3-0. Windy City U16’s finished strong. We learned that its a game of inches and we were so close to competing in the top brackets.

U14 Windy City Spark finished 21st overall at Nationals. The U14’s couldn’t seem to find their groove, but they worked hard and put everything they had on the field. U14 Windy City had an overall record of 2-3-0 with wins vs PA United and Pine Tree.  The losses were so close, and we couldn’t be prouder of the girls!
