Attending teams once again enjoyed pleasant weather and evenly-matched competition on some of the top youth soccer fields in the state, as they used the fast-growing preseason tournament to gear up for the spring season.

While most younger age groups participated in a standard tournament format with group and elimination stages, the top U-16 through U-18 age groups competed in a round-robin college showcase format, allowing for maximized recruiting opportunities. College coaches representing programs from throughout Pennsylvania, as well as California, Ohio, Maryland, South Carolina, Vermont and Virginia attended the event.

Of the 26 division titles from the Turf Cup Girls Weekend, 20 went to teams representing the host state of Pennsylvania, three went to Maryland sides and three to New York teams. Others from New Jersey and Delaware earned the honor of finalists after battling their way through group play to reach their respective championship matches.

On a club basis, Hulmeville SC and Ukrainian Nationals led the way with three teams each finishing as champions. Three Hulmeville SC teams finished as top flight champions in their respective age groups, claiming the U-9, U-11 and U-14 Championship Divisions. Ukrainian Nationals sides fared extremely well in the younger age groups as well, with its teams going on to win the U-9 and U-12 Premier Divisions, as well as the U-15 Elite Division.

Another Eastern Pennsylvania club, Harleysville FC, saw two of its teams win their brackets. HFC Ready teams went home as champions of the U-15 and U-17 Championship Divisions in the showcase age groups, making a strong statement for attending college coaches.
