Sandiford's team reaches National Cup final
Earlier this week, Glenn Graham wrote an alumni report on Chante' Sandiford. On Friday night, the former McDonogh soccer star helped the club team Eagles SC of Camarillo, Calif., to the finals of the U.S. Adult Soccer Association U-23 National Cup by posting a shutout in the semifinals.
Sandiford -- who is heading into her senior season as the goalkeeper at UCLA -- made five saves as Eagles SC defeated Texas-based D’feeters 5-0 in Bowling Green, Ky.
Eagles SC goes for its fourth consecutive age-specific national championship Sunday against KC Dynamos, which beat the Southampton Crunch 7-0 in the other semifinal.
Sandiford, an Owings Mills native, is the only non-Californian on the Eagles SC roster. But she wasn't the only player from the state in Bowling Green for the USASA national cups.
The Chesapeake Charge, an amateur club that plays its games at Carroll Field in Odenton, fell in the semifinals of the USASA Open Cup.
