FRISCO - FC Dallas Homegrown Coy Craft helped the U.S. U-20s take home their first-ever CONCACAF U-20 Championship title on Sunday afternoon, converting a penalty in the shootout win over Honduras.
Craft was a regular off the bench for the Americans throughout the tournament, subbing on in all six matches for Tab Ramos and totaling 136 minutes played. He came on in the 79th minute of the Final and converted his PK in the second round of the shootout, which the U.S. took 5-3 after a scoreless 90 minutes.
The U.S. U-20s, by earning a top-four finish in the tournament, qualified for the FIFA U-20 World Cup coming up May 20-June 11 in Korea, and will learn their group opponents during the tournament draw on March 15.
Craft and the U-20s will be seeking their first U-20 World Cup title. Argentina leads the way with six championships all-time in the tournament, while Brazil is just behind them with five.
