U13 Tsunami
Despite only giving up two goals in three games the entire weekend of the Adidas Bethesda Invitational in Maryland in November, sadly it was not enough to get the team into the final that Sunday afternoon. The girls wrapped up their fall league season in the NPL with a win over Massapequa 2–1. This puts the team near the top of the table going into the Spring season.
This team continues to develop. Four players from this team were named to the PDP program in our NPL league.

U13 Tsunami White
The girls played in the Maps Cup in Hammonton, New Jersey Nov. 22-23. The girls had a very successful weekend winning three games and tying one. They won the final 1–0 over Lower Merion SC from Pennsylvania. It showed the true character of the team currently. This team continues to develop and impress from one month to the next. Congrats on a great fall season keep it up!

U16 Charge
With many players coming off a successful HS season, the Charge players were excited to get started. Their season began in North Carolina at the CASL tournament where they played strong competition from Alabama, Illinois & North Carolina. They finished winning two games and losing one. The following weekend they played at the NEWSS tournament, where they played Brentwood Freedom losing 2-1, a fast-paced Canadian team Whitby, which the Charge won 2-0 & then the final game against one of the best teams in the County, PDA O'Reilly. PDA won 1-0 but it was a good performance by the Charge to showcase their ability.
The Charge traveled to Orlando for the Disney showcase and played against some top competition. Though they didn't win the event, they progressed from the group stages with two wins, two losses and played teams from Missouri, Texas, Pennsylvania & Florida. Overall it was great a showing for the players from a recruitment standpoint for colleges.
