I think it is important to back any team that makes this far from our DMV. It's been especially rough on the girls side of things with the exception of McLean and Bethesda from a few a years ago.
With so many good clubs in the ECNL/DA around the Beltway(s), it makes it that much harder for any of them to go far.
Here's to hoping for more National Championship opportunities for years to come, no matter the badge!
