Super Y League names North American Finals All-Tournament Teams
TAMPA, Fla. (Via Super Y League) – The Super Y League has named the SYL North American Finals All-Tournament Teams following a week-long event at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. in December. An 11-player group was recognized among the five separate age groups for boys and girls.
DDYSC Wolves’ Lagos Kunga, who was named to the U16 Boys All-Tournament Team, was the event’s leading goal scorer among all age groups with 10 goals. Kunga led the charge for an offense that posted 19 goals during the tournament to advance to the U16 title game, where the Wolves finished runner-up to Shoreline FC after a thrilling match that went into overtime and a penalty kick shootout.
