Alaska's First National Soccer Title | Anchorage News

Alaska’s U17 girls soccer team just shattered state history by winning their first-ever national championship—undefeated through the tournament and victorious in a thrilling 3-2 final in Tennessee. After narrowly escaping the group stage last year, this squad, coached since they were eight and dubbed “little ninjas” for their grit, finally claimed the crown. With decade-long bonds, relentless travel, and unmatched dedication, they overcame scheduling hurdles and fierce competition. Three stars shone brightest: Mikenna Keirn (top goalie), Grace Cox (nine-goal scorer), and Darby D’Amico (most outstanding player). This win isn’t just a trophy—it’s proof Alaska’s youth can compete at the highest level, setting a new standard for the future.
