One of the best games on paper from the opening round is LA Breakers against Michigan Hawks. The Hawks squad is a favorite in this age group and been one of the best for years. They are organized, great in the press, and have the depth to handle the five games in seven days.

However, this Breakers team has been improving steadily during the season and put together some strong performances against top teams in North Carolina during the last ECNL National Event of the club season during the last weekend of May.

US Youth National Team winger Ava Penn Ava Penn 5'3" | F Harvard-Westlake | 2028 State #89 Nation CA is on the other side of the attack. Jenna Bartlett Jenna Bartlett 5'0" | F/M Bakersfield Christian | 2028 State #65 Nation CA has slotted in as the No. 9 with this group. It’s among the best attacking trio on any team.
