strong showing in the finals and all throughout the campaign for the
National title. The finals would be decided in penalty kicks, but Penn
Fusion showed amazing heart vs the Grand Rapids Crew Juniors from
Michigan, scoring to tie the game in the 89th minute of play. A 5-4 loss in
penalty kicks would give the Crew the National Championship.
Throughout their campaign, Penn Fusion would win the Region 1

They maintained a national ranking of #1 throughout much of their
season., and ultimately would finish second.
Congratulations to Tyler and the entire Penn Fusion team (many of
whom play on other Central League teams) for an outstanding season!
