The Internationals SC — a club based out of Medina, OH, recently had a pair of girls teams — its U13 and U14 squads — finish as National Champions at the Super Y League Finals at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida last week.
As you might expect, ISC’s rosters are filled with players from Eastern and Central Ohio, but there were two exceptions, as Annamarie Williams (Natrona Heights) and Katharine Scott (Fairview) are members of the U13 group that ran through the tournament with a 5-0-0 record.
The U13s scored 21 goals, amassing an impressive plus 19 goal differential in the five-day tournament.
The Internationals undefeated record included a 5-0 win over Arlington SA (Arlington, WV), a 3-0 win over Chicago City (Chicago, IL), a 7-0 win over Atlanta Metros (Atlanta, GA), a 2-0 win over Atlanta Fire United (Atlanta, GA), and a 4-2 win over Nationals 1 (Pontiac, MI).
Internationals SC’s U14s also blazed through the competition to capture its National Championship win, going undefeated in five games including a 5-0 triumph over the Pittsburgh Riverhounds U14 squad, 5-0.
That Riverhounds Developmental Academy squad had a positive showing prior to its loss to the Internationals, reaching the semifinals, including a wins over Maryland Rush (5-0) and Atlanta Fire (2-1) along the way.
