2003 Boys Elite - 2018 National Finalist

After 3 days of group play, Beadling 2003 Elite earned a spot in the 15U semifinal. In a repeat of the 14U Boys 2017 National Championship final, Beadling came back to defeat defending National Champions, USA/MP 2003 Premier (SC), 2-1, to punch it’s ticket back to the finals. Beadling worked to level the score in the 49th minute with a goal from Ethan Sanders and took the lead with a pk from Sanders with 13 minutes remaining. USA looked for a response but the Beadling defense held strong.

The boys faced a talented LVSA team in the final. LVSA opened the scoring in the seventh minute. Beadling battled throughout the first half to equalize and did well to create dangerous chances. The team went down to 10 men early in the second half but came close to leveling the score in the 65th minute with a free kick that tipped off the crossbar. LVSA managed to seal the game with a late goal to make it 2-0.

“This is our second consecutive trip to the finals. This team will continue to work to get better and go after it next season for a third straight time. Today is difficult, tomorrow will be harder, but we are proud of what we accomplished” - Beadling 2003 Elite Head Coach, Rob Fabean
