PDA SOUTH 96 NPL GIRLS (PDA FORCE) REPEAT AS NORTHEAST GIRLS NPL CHAMPIONS AND WILL DEFEND THEIR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AT THE NATIONAL PREMIER LEAGUE FINALS IN WESTFIELD, INDIANA IN JULY
Players Development Academy (PDA) Force U18 Girls soccer team, from Westampton NJ went undefeated in the Northeast Girls Regional League, earning the Northeast Girls Premier League Championship Title for the 2nd year in a row. The team finished the season with a record of 11 Wins, 1 Tie and zero Losses.
They will be heading to the NPL Finals in Indiana July 9th-13th, to defend their 2014 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE. PDA Force went undefeated and finished with NO GOALS AGAINST in last year’s national championship.
Most of the PDA Force players will be continuing their soccer careers in college, playing at the Division I, II, and III levels. Head Coach David Hodgson’s positive impact on the team is obvious as the girls make their transition from the club level to playing at the collegiate level. This trip to the National Premier League Finals is a fantastic way to close out an amazing and successful journey for the team which has been together since the inception of PDA South when the girls were U14. For the original U14 team members and the players that have become family along the way, this is a truly special group of girls. Congratulations PDA Force!
