[NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS-GIRLS] Both defending girls champions lost on Day 1 of the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships in North Little Rock, Ark.

In a repeat of last year's national championship final, the Slammers FC downed the Bloomfield Force FC, 3-2, on USC midfielder Alyssa Davila's goal in stoppage time.

It was déjà vu in U-16 play, where the reigning champion So Cal Blues also lost, falling to the PDA Fire, 1-0, on Mary Gibson Wagner's early goal.
