Dallas Texans make girls history

• by Soccer America , Jul 28, 2008

Two of the Texans' titles came against Chicago area power Eclipse Select. In the U-17 final, the Texans blew a 2-0 lead late in the game but won the shootout after their game ended in a 2-2 tie. The Texans' U-16s had only managed two goals in three group games but they put on an offensive display in the final, beating Eclipse Select, 4-2.

The Dallas Texans Red Dallas won the U-15 group, coming back from one goal down in the second half to beat the So Cal Blues, 2-1.

In U-18 girls play, Sting Dallas (made up of former Dallas Texans Red players) fell to Colorado Rush Nike, 3-0. Danielle Foxhoven scored twice to give her a tournament-high six goals. The win marked the Rush's eighth US Youth Soccer title, equaling the Sting's record.

Bloomfield Force FC successfully defended its title with a 2-1 comeback win over Slammers FC in the U-19 final thanks to late goals by Dani Haelewyn and Amanda Bowery.

San Juan Spirits Blue gave Sacramento its first national crown with a 2-0 win over FC Stars of Massachusetts in the U-14 girls final.
