Beach FC takes on VDA in the opening game of the knock out round from the competition. VDA is the top seed in the 2010 age group after going 9-0 during conference play from the 2025/2026 season. The Virginia club scored 40 goals in those nine games. They have a dynamic attack that can strike in the blink of an eye.

Beach FC is a tough matchup in the first game. The Southern California squad has an extremely talented midfielder Michele Myers who is part of the US Youth National Team. Myers can create magic.

However, Paul is going to be the most important player if the team is going to surprise the crowds and pull off an upset. The Beach FC goalkeeper is brave off her line and allows her squad to play a high line. She has quick reflexes and good hands. Paul will be called upon in this game and might need to have the game of her life to shut down the VDA attack.
