NorCal and Colorado Down to the Wire in Girls U19 Great NW Challenge

Northern California broke Washington's streak of championships, taking the Girls U19 championship at this weekend's Great Northwest Challenge in Bozeman, Mont.

NorCal produced a nifty combination of speed and power, along with plenty of physicality and patience on defense, to get the job done.

In the final, they needed all of that against a Colorado team of some significant talent.

Don't focus on moving to SVNS 1, don't focus on moving to SVNS 1, don't focus on moving to SVNS 1 ...

A watched pot never boils and the USA men's 7s team could not watch the pot when it came to garnering promotion to the top tier of the SVNS World Series for 2026-27. What they needed to do was focus on each performance.
