FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – All three of the New England Revolution’s Academy teams were back in action in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy last weekend, travelling to New Hampshire to face Seacoast United on Saturday, April 18 before the U-18s and U-16s hosted the New York Red Bulls on Sunday at Gillette Stadium.
The Academy teams went unbeaten in their trip to the Seacoast United Soccer Complex in Epping, N.H. with the U-18s and U-16s earning draws before the U-14s claimed a 2-0 win over Seacoast. The U-18s and U-16s then played to a set of mixed results with the Red Bulls on Sunday, as the U-18s suffered a 4-1 defeat before the U-16s won 3-1, marking the first time the Red Bulls Under-16 team has lost a league game this season.
The complete list of the weekend’s results is below:
The Under-18s played to a frustrating 1-1 draw with Seacoast United on Saturday. The Revs enjoyed the majority of the possession and created the better chances, but it was Seacoast who pulled ahead in the 20th minute when Jonas Taenzer scored to put the home side up 1-0. The U-18s pushed for an equalizer in the second half and found it in the 60th minute when Dylan Mott (Andover, Mass.) was brought down in the Seacoast area and Amadu Kunateh (Lynn, Mass.) converted the penalty kick for his fourth goal of the season, tying the score at 1-1. The Revolution had eight shots in the game while goalkeeper Bill Sinibaldi (Plaistow, Mass.) was only required to make one save as the U-18s earned a share of the points.

The Under-16s completed their weekend doubleheader with a 3-1 win over the New York Red Bulls – who finished in first place in the Generation adidas Cup Premier Division earlier this month. The Red Bulls entered the game with a 15-0-2 record, but left having seen their season-long unbeaten streak snapped by New England. The U-16s went ahead in the 23rd minute when Izaiah Jennings (Barrington, R.I.) played a ball through for Justin Rennicks (South Hamilton, Mass.) who struck his finish low and beyond the Red Bulls goalkeeper to make the score 1-0. Jennings also had a hand in the Revs’ second goal, receiving a pass from Rennicks in the New York area and having his shot saved, only for Andrew Barrowman (Marshfield, Mass.) to follow up and finish the rebound, making the score 2-0 in the 51st minute. The Red Bulls pulled a goal back through Omir Fernandez in the 60th minute but the Revs reestablished their two-goal lead six minutes later, when Jennings received a pass over the top from Matt Ranieri (Natick, Mass.) and chipped the goalkeeper to make the final score 3-1 New England. The Revs finished the game with 10 men after defender Daniel Jones (West Hartford, Conn.) was sent off after two quick yellow cards in second half stoppage time. Goalkeeper Trey Miller (Monson, Mass.) made five saves in the win as the U-16s’ record improved to 8-3-5 for the season.

The Revs went in front in the 23rd minute, when Ferreira picked up a through ball from Laz Dorogi (West Boylston, Mass.), beat the last defender and fired a low shot into the corner of the net to put the Revs up 1-0. The goal was Ferreira’s team-leading seventh goal of the season. The U-14s missed a host of chances – the side recorded 14 shots in the game – before they doubled their lead in the 71st minute.
