Historically I think San Diego has produced about 0-1 players on each National Team. The fact that they have 5 players on the youth team this year and they’re all going to be juniors or seniors in high school is impressive

I think that is a great roster!

…and 2 of those 5 from SD are cadet-aged boys on the youth team. Very impressive.

I’m looking at the best available stats from National League (as good as 6-8 can be). This team has been in some high scoring games. During National League, they scored 258 and gave up 247. 27.6 total goals per game is a lot.

4 identified Q1 birthdays.

Edit. Error corrected

GK earned 39 excl? Huh? No stats would be better than those stats.

I’m not sure where their stats are pulling from, but your best bet at least for top line items like goals allowed, and goals scored per team would be to use our actual results spreadsheet:

USA Youth played 15 total games.

Totals

Goals scored: 212

Goals allowed: 198

Goal differential: +14

Per-game averages

Goals scored per game: 14.13

Goals allowed per game: 13.20

Good catch. I had Exclusion Drawn and Goals Allowed flipped from the finals weekend. Edit pending

Thanks,. Your numbers may just be through the “regular season” but would still mean that 6-8 is wrong (gasp). I included the finals weekend. Average of ~27 still holds.

For the finals weekend the teams were renamed inside the 6/8 system so that we could look at individual player stats for just that weekend separately from the rest of the regular season, so you would have to pull those manually and put them together.

Yes. That’s what I did.
