Not only did Aaronson pour in seven goals to lead the tournament in scoring, but he was also a
playmaker throughout, registering an assist and taking 17 shots, making him a headache for
any opposing defense. Aaronson opened the tournament with a brace in the 10-0 win versus
Saint Kitts and Nevis, but did most of his damage in the knockout rounds, scoring both goals in
the 2-0 quarterfinal victory versus Costa Rica, the opening score in the 3-0 semifinal win against
Honduras and another two goals on Sunday.
