[U.S. CLUB SOCCER] Leading the way at the West Regionals for U.S. Club Soccer's National Cup XI was the U-15 boys team from Milan FC Rossoneri, which won its third straight regional championship.

“We are very excited about winning the West Regional and advancing to the National Cup XI Finals,” said J.R. Maldonado, head coach of Milan FC Rossoneri. “This victory shows that we are consistently one of the stronger clubs in the area. Our goal was to achieve a three-peat of the regional, which the team really took to heart and used as motivation for the weekend.”

Pateadores SC, Walnut Creek SC and Merced Atlas Academy all won two titles.

Crossfire Premier captured two Super Group titles, and Vancouver United won two Premier Group championships in boys play at the Northwest Regional, the National Cup XI’s largest regional event. Triangle United took two boys titles at the Southeast Regional.
