ID has claimed wins over TSC Hurricane 02 Elite (OK), Houston Express 02 Navy (TX-S), Premier Soccer San Antonio 02 (TX-S) and Lonestar SC 02 Black (TX-S). If ID is going to hold on to its lead, it is going to need to get results against two undefeated North Texas teams. Solar Chelsea 02 Stricker (TX-N) is 4-0 and holds the best goal differential in the division with +14, while Odyssey SC 02 (TX-N) is 3-0 while scoring 11 goals and only conceding two.
Under-15 Girls
Sting Austin 02 (TX-S) and One World Soccer 02 (TX-S) are tied for first with 10 points, although Sting has played two fewer games, including a 3-0 win over its South Texas rival. Just like in the Under-15 Boys age group, there are a handful of undefeated teams with aspirations of jumping the leaders once they have played the same amount of games. FC Dallas Youth 02 Premier (TX-N) is 3-0 in the division, while Solar Chelsea 02 Naizier (TX-N) and Oklahoma FC 02 (OK) are both 2-0.
Under-16 Boys
TSC Hurricane 01 Elite (OK) stands alone at the top of the Under-16 Boys division with a 3-0 record. Louisiana Fire Juniors 01 (LA), Solar Chelsea 01 Stricker (TX-N) and Lonestars 01 Red (TX-S) are just a game behind with a 2-1 record.
Under-16 Girls
Lady Lions FC 01/02 Red (TX-S) leads the Under-16 Girls age group with a 3-1-1 record with a goal differential off +10. SLSC Cosmos 01 Lawless (OK) looks to be the Lions’ most immediate threat with a 3-0 record and has record shutout in all three of its matches.
Under-17 Boys
Dallas Texans 00 South (TX-N), FC Dallas 00 Premier (TX-N) and TSC Hurricane 00 Elite (OK) are all tied at the top of the age group with a 2-0-1 record with Dallas Texans holding the goal differential tie-breaker.
Under-17 Girls
Solar Chelsea 00 Bates (TX-N) holds a 6-0 record as the division leader. TSC Hurricane 00 Bolding (OK) is hot on Solar’s tail with a 5-0-1 record, and a pair of North Texas teams are just a point behind the Oklahoma side in Sting North 00 Angell (TX-N) and 2015 US Youth Soccer National Championships finalist Dallas Kicks SC 00 (TX-N).
Under-18 Boys
A trio of North Texas sides lead the Under-18 Boys age group as Andromeda FC 99 (TX-N) holds the tie-breaker over FC Dallas Youth 99 Premier (TX-N) and Dallas Texans 99 Red (TX-N). Each team’s loss has come at the hands of one of the other two leaders – so results against the remaining teams could decide the winner.
Under-18 Girls
Andromeda 99 (TX-N) is the lone North Texas side in the Under-18 Girls age group, but currently leads with a 4-0-1 record and a goal differential of +12. Houston Express 99 Navy (TX-S) looks to pose the biggest threat with a 3-0 record.
Under-19 Boys
Blitz United SC 98 (OK) and FC Dallas Youth 98 Premier (TX-N) are the only two undefeated teams in the Under-19 Boys age group with Blitz sitting at the top after scoring six goals, while FC Dallas has edged out a pair of 1-0 victories in its first two matches.
Under-19 Girls
Andromeda FC 98 (TX-N) continues Andromeda’s dominance of the older age groups by currently claiming first place with a 4-0-1 record. Sting Austin 98 Premier (TX-S) has only played two games, but has won both of them and will look to build off those wins in the upcoming games.
