\r\n\r\n14U Girls<\/strong><\/span>\r\nIn a winner-take-all 14U Black Division match, Lou Fusz Geerling 05 (MO) earned a 1-0 win against Beadling 2005 South Red (PA-W) to secure a first-place finish. The game was tight throughout and went to the second half in a scoreless tie. That changed in the 32nd minute on a great individual effort from Lou Fusz\u2019s Morgan Struttmann<\/strong>. She made a strong run from the right wing \u2014 holding off multiple Beadling defenders \u2014 and blasted a shot inside the near post that flew into the roof of the net. Beadling provided plenty of pressure in the remaining minutes, but Lou Fusz held on for the shutout victory that helped it punch a ticket to the National Championships.\r\n\r\nNJ Stallions 05 Fire (NJ) held off a pack of teams chasing it in the 14U Blue Division, as New Jersey used a 2-1 win against FC Alliance 2005 (WV) to claim first place. Olivia Russomanno<\/strong> and Claire Bucca<\/strong> each scored early in the second half to give the Stallions a 2-0 lead. FC Alliance, which had a chance to win the division with a victory and some help, pulled within 2-1 on an Adaline Cinalli<\/strong> tally in the 42nd minute. However, New Jersey held on to secure the victory and punch a ticket to Nationals as Blue Division winners.\r\n\r\nA 4-0 win for D’Feeters 05 Black (TX-N) against Greater Binghamton FC GPS 05 Select (NY-W), combined with the other results in the group, allowed the North Texas side to secure the 14U Red Division title. Bailey Malone<\/strong> netted an 11th-minute goal, and an own goal gave the D\u2019Feeters some early breathing room with a 2-0 lead in a must-win game. The D\u2019Feeters kept the pressure on in the second half, and Delmy Benitez<\/strong> found the back of the net in the 35th minute to push the advantage to 3-0. Katarina Campbell<\/strong> capped the win with a goal later in the second half, as the North Texas side finished at the top of a tight group of teams in the Red Division standings.\r\n\r\nIn a matchup of the top two teams in the 14U White Division, TFA Elite 05 (OH-S) secured a 1-0 win against Pipeline Spirit PreAcademy (MD) to clinch the division title. TFA needed just a tie to finish in first place, but Shannon Ott<\/strong> gave the Ohio South side some insurance with a goal in the second minute. That strike held up, as TFA recorded its sixth straight shutout to finish the season with just one goal conceded.\r\n\r\n
