The SC Waukesha Blue Under-17 boys team has another matchup against Cincinnati United Premier Crew Juniors Gold.

The teams, who squared off in the U.S. Youth Soccer Region II final two weeks ago, will meet again in a pool finale at the national championships July 26 in Overland Park, Kan.

CUP Crew Juniors Gold thumped SC Waukesha 6-0 in the regional final in Des Moines, Iowa, but the Wisconsin side earned a berth at nationals because the Ohio team already had claimed a spot by virtue of winning its division in the USYS National League this season.

SC Waukesha, the first state boys team to play at the national championships in six years, will open play in Pool A at the tournament on July 23 against California's Santa Clara Sporting and faces Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley United on July 25.

Pool B features Maryland's OBGC Rangers, California's West Coast FC, New Jersey's PDA McGeough and North Carolina's TUSA Gold. The group winners will meet on July 28 for the national championship – no Wisconsin boys team has won a national title, though at least two state sides have advanced to the finals.

• In addition to nationals berth this year, SC Waukesha Blue's performance at regionals also earned them spot in the National League for the 2013-14 season. CUP Crew Juniors Gold already had secured their place by winning its division in the competition this season – the top two teams in each division are awarded spots for the next season.
