GREENSBORO, N.C. – Two New England teams were among the select U.S. clubs to capture a 2007 National Cup VI Championship Tuesday.

Andres Paredes' hat trick led Connecticut's Eastern FC Magic to a 3-2 victory over Bethesda SC United in the Premier U13 boys division and Gabrielle Jatkola tallied the game-winner for the MPS Cape Cod Lady Crusaders in a 3-1 victory over the Kickers United FC Cosmos in the Premier U17 girls final.

Two New England teams won 2007 National Cup titles.

Those were just two of the title games played Tuesday in flights ranging from U15-U17 for girls and U12-U14 for boys.

In other National Cup actions, the California teams dominated the second weekend of Finals, claiming eight of the 18 national championships awarded. Four of the title games even pitted California sides against each other.
