It would be all South Dakota United Spirit in the U16 National Championship with a 3-0 win to claim the National Cup Trophy in Denver Friday morning as six Pierre Governors are now national champions.
Pierre’s Emlyn Swanson would get the shutout in the championship for Pierre while Aubrey Fischer would score one of the three goals for the Spirit as the defense was smothering from Brittany Sargent and Josephine Wurtz with Myah Fravel and Cameron Larson playing excellent in the midfield as all areas of the game were on point for SDU. Watertown’s Berkley Fligge and Brooklynn Randall each had a goal to seal the National Cup final as SDU went 3-0-1 during its run in Denver. From the Midwest Regional to the National Cup, SDU would finish 8-0-1 and allowed just six goals in total in the nine games competing against teams from all over the country.
SDU was comprised of those six Pierre Governors along with five from Watertown, three from Spearfish and one from Mitchell, Yankton, Aberdeen, Rapid City and Williston, North Dakota.
