The Buckeyes split into two squads – Scarlet and Gray – and played against some of the top club and college teams from around the country. Competing teams included the Chicago Eclipse Under-17 (U-17), who placed third in the 2003 US Nationals, and the CUP Premier U-16, which placed fourth in the US Nationals.
The Ohio State Scarlet team claimed the tournament by defeating the Chicago Eclipse U-17 team 5-1. The Eclipse advanced to the championship match with a hard fought 3-2 victory over the Ohio Premier U15 team, the 2002 Region II Champions.
In the semifinals, the Scarlet squad met the Gray unit, avoiding an all Ohio State final. In a thrilling match, the Scarlet emerged with a thrilling 3-2 victory to advance to the finals, where the team eventually knocked off the Eclipse.
