Two heavyweights in the 2008 age groups battled it out on Sunday, with TopHat Gold besting Nationals SC 1-0.

TopHat beat Utah Celtic by a 1-0 margin, following that up with a 4-1 win over Indy Premier. Nationals SC topped Beadling SC 4-1 and defeated host side Lou Fusz 1-0 to make it to Sunday's final.
