Three Texas teams reached the Girls Development Academy U-16/17 semifinals. Two Northern California teams -- the San Jose Earthquakes and Placer United -- reached the U-15 Girls DA final four. Midwest United of Grand Rapids, Michigan, won a six-round shootout, 5-4, over the San Diego Surf after a 2-2 tie to claim the Girls Development Academy U-18/19 title. FC Dallas, which last year lifted the U-15 title, reached the final four at both U-16/17 and U-15.
