2021 USASA Region 1 Champs & National Finalists - EMWSL Sidekicks

We would like to congratulate the EMWSL Sidekicks for their very successful run in the 2021 USASA National Amateur Cup.  In June 2021, the Sidekicks traveled to Horsham, PA where they represented Massachusetts in the regional round of the competition.  They went 2-0-1 in the opening rounds of the Cup and advanced to finals on tiebreakers where they defeated Rochester 3-2 to become the USASA Region I Champions.

In August, they traveled to Michigan where they represented Region 1 in the Championship of Regions.  In the national semifinals, they faced the Pan World Women from Utah. Sidekicks defeated Pan World in PKs and advanced to face Rockford Raptors (IL) in the national finals.

In the finals, Sidekicks went down 2 goals early in the first 10 minutes, but fought their way back, equalizing in the second half of the game.  In the 85', the Raptors were able to score the go-ahead goal and then maintained possession to capture the championship.

Huge congratulations to the EMWSL Sidekicks for their successful tournament journey and representing the strength of Massachusetts soccer!
