The Best Defense in the ECNL - Update

PDA typically puts a team at the top of the standings in every age group of the ECNL, so it should probably be no surprise that the New Jersey’s club also dominates the statistics for team defense. PDA holds the top spot in three of the five age groups with some dominating figures especially at the U17 level where the team has only let in one goal in nine conference games this season.

Just as a reminder from the previous version, only statistics from conference games were used for the rankings for this article.
