Lots of great performances from the younger SW teams. A few that stand out are:
- Legends' U15 team winning their pool (and making it to the semis) as a #13 seed (beating Solar, which had the #2 RPI).
- Slammers' U15 team being undefeated in pool play as the #29 seed. That included ties against both NYC FC, the #7 playoff seed, and the Dallas Texans, who was #4 in RPI.
- SC del Sol's U15 team winning their pool as #22 seed (#3 pot). Unfortunately their reward was an elimination game against the #1 RPI FC Dallas team.
