The SJ Banshees U17 Girls won the Columbia Invitational with a 3-0-1 record. Their group games consisted of a 1-0 win over Tredyffrin-Easttown Youth SA Charge (PAE), a 0-0 tie vs River Dell Blackhawks (NJ), and a 3-0 win over Allegheny Force FC (PAW). The team kept clean sheets in all three games and found both game winners from team captain Kelsea Kneisel. Taylor Hennessy and Melissa Normant also found the back of the net in the 3-0 win. The team had a rematch of the Baltimore March Mania final against Patriots FC 93 (NYE) (SJ Banshees won 2-0). After a scoreless first half, this final saw the Patriots score the first goal. The team did not drop their heads and Shelby Lyon was able to finish a rebound, after her initial shot was saved, to tie the game. The winner came from a Jillian Baltz cross that found the head of Shelby Lyon with about 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the game to win 2-1.
