Sting 95 claimed the U15 girls USYSA National Championship and the Kristine Lilly Cup on Saturday with a 1-0 win over Scorpions Elite from Massachusetts. Scoprions Elite came out flying and could have notched a couple of early goals, but Lauren Berman was unable to put the ball away. Sting got their footing and set about getting into the attack. In the 23rd minute they would find the goal that would turn out to be the winner as Madelyn Crabtree scored. Scorpions’ Katelyn Mountjoy had a dangerous ball in the 39th that struck the crossbar, but Sting would bunker down and hold onto the shutout from there. The title marks the ninth national championship for the Sting club and moves them into a tie with Colorado Rush for the most girls’ national championships by a single club. Madalyn Crabtree of Sting claimed the Golden Ball award and the Golden Glove went to Sting's Miranda Larkin who posted a shutout in all four matches at the finals.
