Featuring teams from Girls Academy League, USYS National League Conferences, EDP League and more, the weekend saw top teams from across different platforms compete against each other, creating a best vs. best experience. In total, the event saw over 200 games played with close to 800 goals scored and two-thirds of the games decided by two goals or less.

The Best XI from the EDP Cup Fall Girls are:

WORLD CLASS FC 2012G KENTIMENOS – EDEN KARIM #5

Eden was an integral and dominant member of a back line during the first day of the tournament. She made key tackles and defensive plays and commanded her position.  Stepping up as goalie on the second day, Eden propelled the team to the EDP Cup Championship to avenge an earlier loss. Her three penalty kick saves helped lead the team to a first place finish.

Madison was dominant all tournament from the right side of the field both offensively and defensively. She consistently took on defenders one-on-one and created scoring chances for herself and her teammates. The combination of her dribbling ability and speed made life difficult for the defenders she went up against every single game.


JERSEY SHORE BOCA JR FC O’HARA 2009G – DANIELLA GORDON #6

Emilie is a central midfielder with great vision who helped control the pace of the game. A player who is almost just as good with left as with right, she dominated midfield and had several assists and a goal this weekend.


NEXT LEVEL NLSA 2008G – SARA CHRNELICH #4

Sara scored four goals throughout the weekend, and also provided two assists to lead her to the championship. Her relentless attacking from the wings and her defensive work ethic and pressing often caused the opponents issues through the weekend.
