2007F Black - National Champions!

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 02:37:36 GMT

2025 USYS NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!

The 2007F Black team are officially your 2025 USYS National Champions!

This incredible group completed a championship sweep - winning the EPYSA State Cup, the USYS Eastern Regional Championship, and now the NATIONAL TITLE !

Their path to glory was nothing short of epic. In the semifinals, it took 90 minutes of regulation, 30 minutes of extra time, and a 5-4 penalty shootout win, thanks to two massive saves by goalkeeper Chelsea.

Then in the final, they showed pure heart, battling back from a 0-2 deficit to score 3 unanswered goals and seal the championship in comeback fashion!

This was their final match as a team and the final match as Penn FC Youth, and what a way to finish....as the #1 team in the nation!

To the players heading to college, the coaches who led the way, and the families who supported the journey, THANK YOU! You've made history and left a legacy that will never be forgotten!
