Rising Stars in the Northwest
Snohomish United FC’s men’s and women’s squads have turned heads this season, posting records that belie their youthful rosters and the modest expectations entering the campaign.
The men’s side sits atop the USL League Two Northwest Division with a 10‑1‑0 slate, accumulating 30 points and a league‑best plus‑23 goal differential after scoring 32 while conceding just nine. Key contributors include captain Connor Lofy, who orchestrates play from midfield, and the Leon brothers, Edgar and Aaron, whose attacking flair has added depth.
Seven players on the men’s roster recently captured an NCAA Division I national championship with the University of Washington, a testament to the talent pipeline feeding the club. Director of coaching Anthony Sardon attributes the surge to a blend of technical ability, championship experience, and a culture that prizes winning the right way.
A Balanced Attack on the Women’s Side
The women’s team occupies third place in the USL W Northwest Division with an 8‑2‑2 record, 26 points on the board, and a striking plus‑31 goal differential after netting 45 goals while allowing only 14. Their success is rooted in collective play and chemistry that extends beyond the pitch.
Broadcaster Dillon Sackett notes that the current roster’s unity and mutual support have created an environment where each player feels valued, a factor he believes could elevate the program to regional prominence if the core remains intact.
Sardon adds that the women’s squad’s character and commitment mirror the men’s, emphasizing a shared philosophy that prioritizes development and sportsmanship. The club’s strong community involvement, from local youth clinics to fan events, reinforces these values and helps sustain momentum.
Looking Ahead
With both sides positioned for playoff contention, Snohomish United FC’s leadership sees an opportunity to build on this season’s foundation. The club’s blend of youthful talent, experienced coaching, and deep community roots suggests a promising trajectory for the coming years.
