The Nationals FC 98 girls got off to a slow start by dropping their first game 2-1 against Mustangs FC. However, they mounted an impressive win streak which carried them to the championship game. The championship game was against the team that almost eliminated them, Mustangs FC. The game was extremely tough as predicted, but the girls came out playing determined and inspired. The Nationals took the lead in the last minute of the first half when Caitlin Jimenez and Kyla Curran set up a play for Leslie Chavez, who blasted a 24 yard shot just past the reach of the Mustangs FC Goalie. The second half was just as exciting with both teams paying exceptional soccer, but in the end, Tatum Moore and her defense were just too much for the Mustangs FC offense.
