Gunnar Graham goal lifts Philadelphia Union U-18s to Snow Bowl title

Gunnar Graham scored just before halftime on a breakaway off a lovely flick from Michael Capretto to lead the Philadelphia Union U-18 team to a Snow Bowl championship in the final game of the weeklong tournament at WSFS Bank Sportsplex.

Graham’s goal – and subsequent celebration – highlighted a hard fought match against Lyngby Boldklub in the U-18 final. It followed a 2-0 win for Benfica over the Philadelphia Union U-16s in the U-16 final and a 4-3 win for CF Monterrey over Manchester United in the U-15 final.

The U-18 final was the 43rd game hosted at the indoor IBX Field at WSFS Bank Sportsplex over six days.
