Coast FA Spring Classic

Champions

Congratulations WUFA 04 Girls Navy! Playing another tournament up an age group in U15, the girls once again showed their class. Our girls finished with back-to-back wins over local rivals to take the championship, despite being shorthanded on reserves. Well done! Congrats also go to our WUFA 05 Boys Gray team for pushing the finals match to penalties, but fell a hair short of being champions. Kudos, boys.

Can Am Cup

Myrtle Beach, SC

It was a great weekend for WUFA teams in Myrtle Beach. The wind was a howling banshee all weekend long which took some adjusting for every team. Once we got acclimated to the conditions, we settled down and played some quality matches. Of the 7 teams participating in the Can Am Cup, 4 were finalists and 3 finished as champions. Well done WUFA!

2017 Savannah Finale Champions & Finalists

Savannah, GA

A beautiful weekend in Savannah was a perfect setting for WUFA's season ending tournament. Many WUFA teams accomplished milestones in Georgia. The 06 Girls Navy team reached their first final and won their first championship. They only allowed one goal against all weekend and won the finale on penalties. Our 08 Boys Navy also made their first final after winning their previous 3 games of the tournament. They lost 3-4 in a well fought game to a team they had previously beat. Our 07 Boys Gray won all their games except a heartbreaking loss on penalties in the semifinals to the eventual champs. The 04 Girls Navy only conceded 1 goal against all weekend and ended with 3 wins and a draw. Sadly they finished behind the team they tied, who scored one more goal than we did. Other team of note was the 05 Boys Gray finished 2nd in their division. Well done boys.

The Wilmington United Futbol Academy 06G Navy celebrates their first tournament championship at the Savannah United Finale. Finishing first in pool play via an exciting 1-0 win on Sunday morning they had to face the same team in the championship game three hours later. In a tense back and forth match the WUFA girls demonstrated skill, tenacity, and heart. With the match ending at 0-0 after regulation and OT the champion was to be decided by penalty kicks. On the 9th kick with the keepers facing off against each other the team prevailed at Katie Macleer powered home the winner to take the victory 6/5. Thanks are in order for the families and friends for their support and encouragement. And a big shout out to the team for trusting the process and working with incredible effort to grow and improve over the course of the season. Over the four matches the team did not allow a goal in the run of play with the only goal allowed off a PK late in their second game proving out the old adage, "defense wins championships."

2016 Adidas Clash Champions

Read Article in the Star News...

Greensboro, NC

Wilmington United's much improved 04 WUFA Girls team made great strides with a dominant performance at the Adidas Clash tournament in Greensboro, NC. Not only did they go undefeated and take home the crown, but they conceded no (yes, "zero") goals in the process. In the not so distant past, shots on goal for our girls were not a common phenomenon. The tables have turned significantly in opportunities, balls on frame and balls in the back of the net. 9 (nine) different girls scored this weekend and 13 goals total with a clean sheet in every game. This was a great team effort and we are proud of their heart and progress. Go Blue!
