Phillip launches NC State to NCAA title game
Bucks watch party: 7p Monday at Churchill's Food & Spirits, downtown Flint.
Flint City Bucks superstar and USL Player of the Year Donavan “Gusto” Phillip scored in the NCAA Tournament semifinal Friday to propel No. 15 seed NC State University to its first ever national championship match.
Watch party in Flint: Join us at 7 p.m. this Monday evening at Churchill’s in downtown Flint. We'll be cheering on Gusto in the final, complete with door prizes—plus Bucks beers for just $2! Can't attend? Catch the match at home on ESPNU.
The NC State Wolfpack defeated Saint Louis University 2-1 in the semis, with Phillip rising at the back post in the 69th minute to break the deadlock with a headed missile across the face of goal.
With that crucial (and eerily familiar) tally, Phillip now shares the lead for total goals scored in the nation—on the heels of earning USL League Two Golden Boot with the Bucks.
Before the match, Phillip was named to the NCAA All-American first team. He and Palmer Ault (Bucks 2023, 2024) remain in contention for the MAC Hermann Trophy for best college player in the country.
NC State will next face Washington, which features six players from the Ballard FC squad that defeated Flint City 2-1 in the USL2 national semifinals over the summer: Harrison Bertos, Zachary Ramsey, Charlie Kosakoff, Richie Aman, Joe Dale, and Cameron Cruz.
