U13 ECNL Champion: Crossfire Academy

With a flawless championship performance, Crossfire completed one of the most dominant seasons in ECNL history, winning all 31 matches while scoring 173 and conceding just 13. The final was the perfect culmination of that dominant season as an early Nigel Knoblich goal and a late wonder-strike from Gael Segura Sandoval did the job in a 2-0 defeat of Legends FC.

U14 ECNL Champion: Crossfire Academy

In a grueling match of limited opportunities in the immense Virginia heat, Crossfire found a last-minute goal against the run of play to win the U14 championship. The marquee matchup pitted two of the best prospects in the country against each other, as towering Crossfire forward Owen White faced the fundamentally sound and physically dominant Concorde Fire Platinum center back, Alexander Delgado. 

For 79 minutes, Delgado overpowered that matchup, but all a striker needs is one chance, and that is what White proved with a late sliding goal to give Crossfire a 1-0 lead with just a minute remaining in regulation. The initial cross evaded the 6-foot-5 striker, but Dmitriy Pan was at the back post to redirect the pass back across the six-yard box for White to poke home. That was the only goal as Crossfire center back Raizo Chan had an outstanding game to keep a free-flowing Concorde attack off the scoreboard.

U15 ECNL Champion: Legends FC

Heading into the final, the overarching theme of the U15 age group was the offensive firepower of a Legends FC squad that had scored at least three goals in every knockout game. The incredibly talented prospect leading that charge was Kingston Rojas, and the captain delivered once again with a hat trick in the 5-1 championship victory over STA.

Marcel Aguilar and Anderson Leon scored the other two goals for Legends while STA briefly found hope on an Aavik Akarte strike to cut the lead to 3-1.

U16 ECNL Champion: Florida Premier

While the Florida Premier charge to the final was led by the phenomenal Peter Baah, who scored five of the team’s six goals in the quarter and semi-final, the championship saw others step up in a commanding 3-0 victory.

Dylan Starkey scored the first on a flicked header, quickly followed by Tomas Garcia, before Ibrahim Abdelsalam scored a late second-half clincher to defeat Pateadores.

U17 ECNL Champion: Crossfire Academy

The U17 ECNL final was always going to be an uphill battle for an SLSG MO squad that needed two penalty shootouts to reach the final and faced a free-flowing Crossfire team that won the 2023 championship and was averaging over four goals a game through the playoffs. Once Oscar Santana broke the deadlock just before half, Crossfire kicked into another gear as the versatile attacker added another to complement strikes from Zachariah Hume and Harper Mikolasy in a 4-0 victory. Henry Blake, forming a formidable center-back partnership with Mikolasy, earns MVP honors for an incredible playoff run that included helping the team to four clean sheets. Blake also offered a potent threat on set pieces, as highlighted by a jaw-dropping group stage performance where he scored four versus Albion SC Colorado.

The victory marks a second ECNL title in three years for a legendary team that has lost just two of 84 matches in that span.
