WPFC 93 Black finished 3 - 0 at the Adidas MLS Youth Showcase defeating BRYC Blackhawks of Virginia 5 - 0, Parsippany SC of New Jersey, and BW Gottschee, of Queens, New York 1 - 0.  

The Showcase was held on the Campus of George Mason University in Fairfax Virginia.  Friday the boys played  the BRYC Blackhawks, the club hosts for the Showcase. After a hard fought first half, and a stiff breeze bringing the temperatures into the high 30's and low 40's, WPFC was up 1 - 0.  With solid possesion thru much of the game, the 93 Black proved too much to handle defeating the Blackhawks 5 - 0.

Friday evening the boys took in the sites of Washington DC, traveling by rail into the Downtown area, they visited the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial as well as getting a glimpse of the White House and the Smithsonian Museums.

Saturday morning the boy's 8:15 game was against Parsippany SC out of New Jersey. Even after a late night of sightseeing the boys were still up for the challenge with aggressive defense and solid possession throughout the whole game winning 2 - 0.

In the afternoon game the boys were originally scheduled to play Royals FC from Tennessee, but after a last minute scheduling change were matched up to play BW Gottschee from Queens, New York.  BW Gottschee is a big physical team and dominated play thru the first 10 to 15 minutes of the game. WPFC answered with good defense and hard physical play themselves getting a few opportunities to score, but unable to find the back of the net. Finally with about 12 minutes left in the game WPFC scored the only goal of the game on a breakaway getting past the defense and sliding the ball under the diving keeper to a wide open goal for their 3rd win of the Showcase. WPFC was one of 4 teams to go undefeated in the showcase out of 27 teams entered.

Sunday after gettng checked out of the Hotel, the team traveled back to Washington DC and RFK Stadium for the Major League Soccer Championships between the Houston Dynamo and the New England Revolution.  All the Boys and Girls teams playing in the Showcase had the opportunity to attend the finals and be on the field while the band Jimmy Eat World performed during half time.

After the game it was time to head to Baltimore to catch our flight home. Even though this was what seemed like a non stop 4 days, it turned out to be a great experience for the boys to play against some great teams on the East Coast and to see some of the sites of our Nation's Capital, an experience they will always remember.
