FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution Academy teams continued their bright start to the 2015-16 season, going an unbeaten 2-0-1 against Albertson SC on Sunday at the Mitchel Athletic Complex in Garden City, N.Y.

UNDER-18s
The Under-18s began the day with a 1-0 win over Albertson SC to continue their winning start to the season. A late goal from Justin Rennicks (South Hamilton, Mass.) clinched the full three points for the Revs in an even game. In the 77th minute, John Wilkins (Natick, Mass.) found Rennicks with a quick throw-in, catching the Albertson defense unaware, and the forward dribbled toward goal before finishing past the goalkeeper to make the score 1-0.
