As 2024 drew to a close, two teams stood out for their extraordinary achievements and unwavering dedication. Their remarkable performances on the field not only highlighted their skill and teamwork but also demonstrated the resilience and commitment that define championship-caliber teams. Congratulations to these incredible groups for ending the year on such a high note!
G08 DPL – November 2024
Since coming together in June, the G08 DPL team has demonstrated remarkable effort, focus, and teamwork. In just a few short months, this newly formed group has consistently risen to the challenge, showcasing their dedication and growth on the field.
Their achievements this season are a testament to their hard work. They secured an impressive 2nd place in their League for the fall season, a remarkable accomplishment for a team still finding its rhythm. Adding to their success, they went undefeated at the Thanksgiving Surf College Cup, proving their resilience and ability to perform under pressure on one of the biggest stages of the year.
The team has embraced a clear style of play and has grown significantly in a short period of time. Their success on the field reflects their hard work and commitment to improving every day. I believe this group represents what the Team of the Month award is all about, and I’m confident they’ll continue to build on this strong start in the spring season.

G14 DPL – December 2024
This team earned their recognition after an unforgettable performance at the Tournament of Champions, demonstrating extraordinary character, resilience, and determination.
The weekend started with adversity as the girls faced a tough loss in their opening game. However, they responded in the best way possible, showing immense grit and bouncing back to win their next two matches with a combined total of 9 goals. These victories not only secured the necessary points but also gave us the goal difference needed to reach the final.
The final itself was a fiercely contested match, culminating in a penalty shootout. The team displayed remarkable composure under pressure, scoring all four penalties in the shootout and earning a well-deserved victory. This fantastic achievement is a testament to the hard work, effort, and commitment that these players have demonstrated all year long. It is a fitting way to close out 2024, and I couldn’t be prouder of this group.
