Revolution Under-18 forward Izaiah Jennings bagged a brace to help his team claim a 3-2 win over Everton FC Westchester in Purchase, N.Y. on Sunday.
Jennings, who now has 11 goals on the season, scored from the spot in the 23rd minute, then tallied again in the 48th minute thanks to an assist from Tim Ennin. Jennings committed to the University of Louisville earlier this year.
Revs U-18 defender Matt Ranieri netted his first goal of the season in the 50th minute. He has committed to Dartmouth for the fall.
With the win, the Revs U-18s improved to 11-2-5 (38 points), good for first place in the Northeast Division of the U-17/18 group of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy.
Meanwhile, Kaoru Fujiwara tallied for the Revolution Under-16 squad in their 3-1 loss to Everton FC Westchester on Sunday.
Fujiwara collected his second goal of the season in the 27th minute thanks to the help of Nick Firmino and Mike Balleani, each of whom notched an assist on the sequence.
The defeat sent the Revs U-16s to 2-11-6 (12 points), which puts them in eighth place in the Northeast Division of the U-15/16 group.
The Revs U-16s and U-18s will return to league action on May 6 against Continental FC DELCO in Conshohocken, Pa.
