Coach Roberto's comments on the weekend:
“We are proud of the performance displayed by our G06 ECNL RL team at the 2024 Jefferson Cup Showcase. Their undefeated streak throughout the tournament is a testament to the exceptional talent and hard work they've exhibited on the field this year. Going into their final year in youth soccer they continue to showcase a blend of disciplined defense, fluid midfield play, and clinical finishing in the attacking third. At the Jefferson Cup Showcase, our girls rose to the occasion, showcasing their competitive edge and determination against some of the nation's best teams with wins vs the #5 team in Virginia, the #4 team in Maryland and the #1 team in Ohio. As we celebrate their achievements, it's clear that their years at FC Copa Academy are culminating in a great senior season as they prepare to move into college soccer."
