For FIERCE's NL teams, the road to the USYS National Championships in July 2025 begins with Conference play. FIERCE returned to the Frontier Conference for the 24-25 Season, playing against teams from North Texas, South Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.
It was a first for FIERCE to send 5 NL teams to compete in a Frontier Conference weekend. All 5 NL teams - 06-07G NL, 08G NL, 09G NL, 10G NL, and 11-12G NL - played two games over the course of the opening weekend in Dallas.
FIERCE's 09G NL did not concede a single goal across the weekend, winning 1-0 and 3-0 in their matches. 08G NL came away with a 2-1 win and 1-1 draw, and 06G NL displayed a dominant performance with a 4-0 win on Saturday. For 10G NL and 11-12G NL, it was a historic weekend as they played their first ever NL matches.
Overall, FIERCE came away from the weekend with 14 crucial points. With opening weekend under their belt, FIERCE's teams are now taking the lessons learned and preparing for upcoming Frontier Conference matches. 4 of NL's 5 teams will return to Conference play September 14th!
