EDP spoke to several coaches following the first day of the EDP Cup Fall Showcase. Here is what they had to say: “I think the girls played fantastic this weekend. They deserved to win all 3 games, no goals given up. I believe 7 goals scored. It feels really good to win. Great tournament. Great fields. Just fantastic all around.” Lee Bishop, Coach of FC Europa 04 Elite “I think they built throughout the tournament, which was nice because we definitely played the hardest team last. It just worked out. We kept building momentum, and we ended up winning 5-0, which was just surprising looking at the matchup. We put our chances away and just worked through different things we coached and throughout the weekend they just kept capitalizing. It was great.” Diana Colleur, Coach of FC Ballyhoo 02 Black “I think we could have played better. Overall, the quality of the tournament was really high. It was a challenging event for the girls to come and play. It’s our first games of the season and I’m pretty satisfied with where we're at. ” Todd Philips, Coach of Asphalt Green 2002

“Yeah, I thought the team as a whole played well, considering it’s our first tournament together after the high school season. I want to see us continue to build fluidity and continue to work together as a group. But, overall the tournament was great and this was a great way to start the season.” Jamie Gonzalez, Coach of East Meadow 04 ECNL Barca


“I think our team performed very well. We’re a younger team. We’re playing up. We’re an 03 team primarily with a couple of 02s. So, we played up in the U18s and we ended up topping our group. So, overall I’m very pleased with how the girls performed. It was a good start to our outdoor season and looking forward to more EDP events.” Scott Burns, Coach of Rotterdam United 03 NL Check out highlights from this weekend's bracket winners: U15 Diamond Bracket Group A saw the Coliseum SC G2005 Inferno NPL finish second, with a total of 6 points.
