When discussing goals and aspirations for NEFC in the girls’ Development Academy, academy director Nick Burke has previously made no secret of striving to win a national championship.
That same message rings true at the 2019-20 season's midway point, with NEFC's U-16, U-17 and U-19 teams in first or second place of the Northeast Division.
Their Winter Cup results weren't eye-popping when drawn with Oakwood, Tophat (Georgia) and Penn Fusion (Pennsylvania) – with the exception of their U-17s – but the goals remain lofty.
