The seventh season of US Youth Soccer National League play got underway Nov. 21 when all 80 boys teams convened in Wilson, N.C. After a break for the holidays, it’s the girls’ turn, as 80 teams in the Under-14 through Under-18 age groups also meet in North Carolina to begin their season.

With this year’s addition of the Under-14 age group to the field, the 2013-14 National League season brings even more opportunities to witness outstanding play from some of the nation’s best teams and players. The girls teams in the league this year feature several squads that have proven themselves at the highest level, as every age group includes its defending National Champion.

The correlation between playing in the National League and success at the National Championships was as strong as ever on the girls’ side in 2012-13. Each of the eight teams in the Under-15 through Under-18 National finals were squads that competed in the National League. One of those teams, Cleveland United White (OH-N), claimed the National title after a dominating defensive performance in the National League, which saw the Ohio side tie the record for least goals allowed in a season — conceding just once while going 6-0-1 in the league.
