Maryland Teams Lead The Way In Nationals.
The Casa Mia Bays of the Boys Under-15 division shutout the Dallas Texans Red 88 by a score of 2-0. The Texans netted an own goal in the 21st minute before Casa Mia’s Stephen Romeo tallied another in injury time.

Caroline Smith tallied both goals early for Tsunami Sota in the 7th and 15th minutes. Melissa Hornfeck netted the lone-goal for Bethesda in the 22nd minute.

Patrick Healey gave Baltimore a 1-0 lead in the 18th minute, dribbling through traffic and chipping the ball over the opposing goalkeeper. Play was suspended in the 55th minute due to severe weather.

Less than one minute later, Tomasz Charowski put the Concorde Fire on the board, on a restart from 15 yards away.

The game’s deciding tally was knotched in the 88th minute on a break away goal by Baltimore’s Matthew Curran.
