After a hard fought 0-0 on the road vs Naples United FC on Wednesday, the team of Head Coach Robert Stoutenburg traveled to Barry University on Saturday July 9 for a championship game against league leaders Miami Beach FC. With a win Miami Beach FC would clinch the regular season Conference Championship. After a 1-0 score at halftime, Miami Beach FC scored two more goals for a 3-0 score and secured the title in their inaugural season.
