Three local teams advance to U.S. Youth Soccer national finals in Texas

Three youth teams from the region will play for national championships on Sunday in Frisco, Texas after winning semifinal matches on Saturday at the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships.

Real Jersey FC’s 2004 boys team advanced to the U14 final with a 3-0 win over California club El Camino FC early Saturday morning. Tyler Davidson opened the scoring for the Medford, New Jersey-based club just three minutes into the match and Cade McGrath and Ryan Kuldanek added goal three minutes apart in the second half.

With the win, Real Jersey will get a rematch with Michigan club Nationals, which they lost to in last year’s U13 championships.
