PLYMOUTH REIGN 08 NLC
Plymouth Reign 08 NLC had an incredible run at the 2025 USYS National Championships in Orlando, Florida, competing in the U17 Girls Division. The team earned its spot on the national stage by winning both the Michigan State Cup and the Midwest Regional Championship, a testament to its consistency and dominance throughout the season.
In group play, Reign showcased their attacking power with a record of 2-1-0, scoring an impressive 13 goals while conceding 6. Their strong performance advanced them to the knockout rounds, where they faced a highly anticipated matchup against a familiar rival – Michigan Tigers Elite 64 08G. Having already beaten the Tigers twice earlier this year in both the State Cup and Regionals, Plymouth entered the game confident and ready.
In a fiercely competitive semifinal, however, the Tigers edged out Plymouth 2-1, ending Reign’s inspiring run just short of the final. While the journey concluded earlier than hoped, Plymouth Reign 08 NLC’s achievements this season – winning State Cup, claiming a Regional Championship, and reaching the semifinals at Nationals – highlight the team’s remarkable quality, resilience, and success on the national stage.
