Yes, they won the 3rd division which is kind of like saying they finished in 17th place because there were 16 teams seeded above them in higher brackets.

They lost to NCFC in group play. NCFC is in 11th place in MA, ouch.

It was 2nd flight (Elite). The colors jJust break up large groups of teams. They were in elite black, and both Richmond and VDA (teams below them in the MA table and who they beat head to head) were in elite orange.

So, yes, they were 2nd flight, below CSA, Union, and Bethesda (all of whom I believe would have beaten Brave), but it was still a strong showing and result (the dud against NCF in a meaningless group game not withstanding).

They outscored their opponents 15-4 in 4 games.

It wasn’t NCFC, it was Fusion. They still had no business losing, but they were going to the final regardless.

I was born at night just not last night. It was the 3rd flight, good for the kids though. Just be realistic about the level of competition.

It was the 3rd game. They were already on to the final based on the results of the first 2 games the previous day. Most likely the focus was already on the final game.

Let's break down the statistics for both Brave and Union since that is what this thread is all about.


Brave 2010's are currently ranked 79th in the Nation per the Soccer Rankings app.

They beat...
Pittsburg Riverhounds (8-1W)...Ranked 386th
STA GA (3-0W)...Ranked 215th
NCF (1-2L)...Ranked 136th
NY SC (3-1W)....Ranked 174th


Good weekend? I'd say it was an OK showing. The Pittsburg 8-1 win is where they got the bulk of their GD for the weekend. Otherwise they would have outscored their opponents 7-3, a little more reasonable. I'd say Pittsburg did not belong in this flight.


VA Union 2010 is currently ranked #15 and their results...

CFC (4-3W)...Ranked 76th
Eclipse (1-0W)...Ranked 27th
FC Delco (1-1D)...Ranked 3rd
Charlotte SA (3-0W)...Ranked 8th


Much closer results here but overall would say the numbers show that VA Union had the better weekend defeating teams ranked much higher than themselves while Brave was punching below their weight all weekend.

Also I should add that these are current rankings, which were no doubt affected by their results this weekend.

And no...not a dad on either of these specific teams, just someone that likes the numbers.

That’s a strong number of goals scored.

Likely they belonged to the higher bracket. Team assignment amounts the different brackets are not alway right or fair level.

Love it, and can’t disagree with anything in this post. As a data guy, I think the numbers often tell the story. No question Union had the better weekend, but nice to see both teams succeed.

Anyone have any updates on how many Union/Brave or total roster numbers on any of the girls age groups? Curious to see how it's all settling.

Will they let those know who didn’t make it?

Seems like the combination of strong players from both teams will be great!
