This is correct.

Weren't they in 2nd division and got blown out in the final?


No, that was Arlington Red. They deserve credit for making it to the final of the 2nd Division though.


Oops, meant Alexandria. Can't really expect them to compete with 6th place team in Mid Atlantic ECNL. Highly respectable showing against everyone else though!


0-5 against a mediocre team.


Charlotte is definitely not mediocre. They have beat local ECNL teams.


Like who?

Arlington, BRYC and Mclean


Tied McLean, beat bryc, beat Arlington, lost to VDA.


So neither Alexandria Red or Charlotte seems mediocre.

They got blown out by a ecnl team, Charlotte Independence. Better teams were in the 3rd division. For example, third division final was VDA vs Maryland United.


My daughters team played Alexandria Red in the regular season and I can confirm they were very good.


The tournament didn't label them 1st, 2nd, 3rd division. I would bet that they just tried to get everyone to play different teams and so that they weren't blowouts. There were a lot of NC ECNL teams. I'm sure no one wants to play anyone they play in the regular season.


Correct! The divisions didn't matter and the groups were placed like a stage group. This particular showcase mixes teams up so you're not traveling to play teams that you would play within your division. Our girls got to play teams from NC, FL, and SC. I actually appreciated that.
