FALL RIVER, Mass. – The Revolution Youth Academy remained perfect (4-0-0) on the weekend after their squads claimed 3-2\u00a0and 2-0 wins over the New York Cosmos Sunday at BMC Durfee High School during the first weekend of the 2011-12\u00a0U.S. Soccer Development Academy\u00a0season.<\/p>\n
The U-18s opened Sunday’s action with an aggressive attack against the Cosmos that featured goals from\u00a0Dominik Machado (4′)\u00a0and Chandler Burnham (9′) to give the Revs an immediate\u00a0two goal cushion inside of 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Cosmos pulled one back before the half, and equalized in the 70th minute from a pinpoint corner that curved into the net to level it at 2-2.\u00a0 But for the second straight day, Machado\u00a0broke the tie with a late-gasp goal when he punched a loose rebound through to give the 18s a 3-2 win. For the weekend, Machado\u00a0led\u00a0the Revs with\u00a0three goals.<\/p>\n
In the second\u00a0match of the day, the 16s put together their second straight solid performance of the weekend\u00a0 and there was little the Cosmos could do to prevent it. Mawolo Gissie scored his second goal of the weekend in the 24th minute while Casey Schehl added another in the 66th minute as the 16s claimed back-to-back clean sheets.<\/p>\n
The Revs Academy\u00a0returns to action in two weeks for the USSDA Winter Showcase in Lakewood Ranch, Fla., which runs from December 2-6. Their opponents for the Showcase will be Charlotte Soccer Academy (Dec. 3rd), Chicago Fire (Dec. 4th), and North Meck SC (Dec. 6th).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
