Eclipse Advance to USASA U23 National Finals
The Bethesda Eclipse went undefeated in the USASA Region I Women U23 Cup held in Horsham, Pennsylvania over the 14 July weekend to become the regional entry in the USASA U23 Cup.  The Eclipse won its group by defeating New Jersey Shore Boca 1-0 from a goal by Erika Theisen and then shutting out F.C. Bucks 2-0 from a brace by Olivia Onyeador.  In the semifinal, Kate Nicholson scored the lone goal in a 1-1 draw against the New Jersey Wildcats but the team prevailed in the penalty shoot-out.  Nicholson was the hero in the final versus Soccer Plus as she scored the lone goal of the match.  The Eclipse will meet the ICSL All Stars of California South in the semifinals on 3 August at the Starfire Complex in Seattle, Washington.
