<p>It was the GA Red vs GA Blue teams duking it out for the first ever Girl's Division championship at Generation Adidas Cup on Sunday morning and it did not disappoint. They played each other on Thursday in the second round robin game when the Blue team won 2-1. All four teams in this tournament must be exhausted after a 4th game in 5 days hopefully everyone came out of the tournament healthy and most importantly became a better player. Here were the top players in the Final: </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='181729' first='Isabella' last='Ortiz']- Scoring another goal for her blue side. She has really impressed this tournament Offensively she can hurt you in so many ways. Great with her back to goal, great on the half turn, makes dangerous runs in behind, can shoot with both feet, will dribble into space as well as tight spaces effectively. One of the top 2028 talents in the country without a doubt. </p>

<p>Bristol Kersh- Put her red team in the lead with a great run and finish in the first half. She's been impressive all tournament. 10/10 athlete who is pretty sharp technically as well. I am really looking forward to watching her in Norco during the Girl's Academy playoffs. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='273020' first='Molly' last='McGuire']- Scored an absolute banger when she hit a 1 time shot from a pass from Lila Megyesi into the top right corner of the goal. It was an incredible strike and a fitting end to the first Generation Adidas Cup Girl's Division. It was with about 90 seconds left in the game as well which made it even more dramatic.</p>

<p>Cali Hejduk- Caused a lot of problems for the Blue back line with her speed and relentless press. She's a tough little player as she will throw herself into tackles or in the way of the ball to try and score. </p>

<p>Alex Hoff- She's been super steady in the back for Blue all tournament. She played everywhere across the back line, mostly at outside back and showed her defensive ability with a ton of duels won. Advanced the ball well in possession and wasn't scared to bomb forward to make a play. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='146363' first='Delaney' last='Fraser']- Another super shift from Fraser. She makes plays everywhere, is steady in possession and battled every second. She was a big reason why this Red team came out on top in this one. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Claire Badger- Fantastic athlete really fast and shifty on the ball. Has a good burst of speed and really fit. Still running her tail off after a 4th game in 5 days in mid 80's heat. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Paxton Battaglia- TopHat produces players. Really strong defender who anticipates play well. Really physical with her opponents and dominates leverage on set pieces. </p>
