After a year of big games against many top ranked teams, the Lamorinda United U18 girls' team has achieved its goal. The team is currently the No. 1 team in the United States, according to GotSoccer.com.
The girls have worked together as a team, many since they were 8 years old, to get to where they are now. In August, the team graduates three seniors: Vanessa Larson, AJ Morgan, and Emily Holbrook. But before their departure, the team looks to defend their title at the Davis College Showcase in July.
