Dallas teams fared well in the opening round of Disney with 5 advancing out of the group stages and into semifinal play.
U18 Showcase - Solar showed they will again be a major player in the national championship picture as they walked thru group play unbeaten. They will face Sereno SC of Arizona next. Dallas Texans finished a disappointing group stage with 2 losses and a draw.
U18 Cope White -
FC Texas went into the last matchday leading their group, but were held to a draw by CFU Kraze. The win and two draws were not enough as Tupelo FC of Mississippi won their last match and overtook FC Texas to win the group. U17 Showcase - Dallas Texans knocked off the defending national champions Bethesda and cruised into the semifinals against Reston FC of Virginia. Meanwhile Solar 90 were beaten in their 2nd game by MSC Dragons but won their other 2 games. Unfortunately they lost goal differential with MSC and finished 2nd in their group. Andromeda 90 were able to win their opening match but then suffered two shutout losses to crash out of the tournament. U17 Predator - Solar Blue finished their 3 matches with two draws and a loss taking 3rd in their group. U16 Showcase - Dallas Texans 91 scored a nice 1-0 win over Chicago Magic on the last matchday to win their group and advance to play defending Disney champions DeAnza SC. U16 Predator - Solar took their group with 2 wins and a draw to advance to play Bridge FA Gold for a chance at the final. U16 Copa White - Andromeda Titans opened with a massive 8-1 win and followed it up with another win and a draw to advance to play Cobb FC of Georgia in a semifinal.
U15 Showcase - Both Dallas Texans and Solar 92 squads advanced out of group play and could potentially meet in the final if both can win their next matches. Dallas Texans had little trouble taking all three matches in their group with a 8-1 goal differential. Solar had a tougher time but were able to advance over XMS Explosion on goal differential. Texans play Bethesda Roadrunners in one semifinal while Solar plays Clearwater Chargers.
