The BU15 recorded an unmatched third straight triumph at Nomads, with a 1-0 defeat of West Coast United in the final in San Diego.
The tournament win was anything but easy for the top-10 ranked BU15. While controlling possession throughout the tournament, goals came at a premium as teams like Cisco Arizona and Aztecs played with cohesive defenses, supported by outstanding goaltending. However, not to be outdone protecting the twine, the BU15 had goaltending magic of their own. The BU15 gave-up just a single goal during the tournament and won two games on PKs that were drawn after regulation time.
The victory follows-up the BU15’s wins at Nomads Thanksgiving win in November (beating Colorado Rapids pre-academy 2-1) and Nomads Coaches Showcase in March of 2010 (defeated Surf Premier 3-0).
