We want to congratulate our GU18 on a great showing at the ECNL finals in Seattle.After going undefeated in three pool play games, the girls met the Michigan Hawks in the national semi-finals on Saturday. After regulation and overtime, the game was tied 1-1, and unfortunately, the Hawks came out on top on penalty kicks. Once again, an RSC GU18 group moves on after accomplishing so much success at the youth level, and we wish the girls all of the best as they now enter the collegiate soccer scene.

Our B14  (1999) returns from Indianapolis today-victorious in all 3 showcase games-

Congratulations boys on an outstanding 2013-14 campaign, and on establishing yourselves as one of the top teams in the country!
