UNDER-18s
The Under-18s suffered their second consecutive defeat with a 3-1 loss to Everton FC Westchester on Saturday. The Revs came out strong and took the lead in the 13th minute through Justin Rennicks (South Hamilton, Mass.).

UNDER-16s
The Under-16s continued their unbeaten start to the 2015-16 season, claiming a 4-0 victory over Everton FC Westchester in a clinical display on Saturday. Five of the Revsā seven shots in the game were on target, with the U-16s finding the net on four occasions, including three times in the second half. The U-16s took the lead just before the halftime break, when Gustavo Cassemiro (Framingham, Mass.) scored his second goal of the season. After receiving a throw in, Gabriel Meireles (Everett, Mass.) beat the Everton left back and hit a low ball across the face of goal that Cassemiro tapped into the back of the net, making the score 1-0 in the 38th minute.
The Revs doubled their lead in the 50th minute when a corner kick from Tyler Freitas (North Attleborough, Mass.) bounced around the Everton area before falling to Laz Dorogi (West Boylston, Mass.). Dorogi then hit a powerful shot past the Everton goalkeeper for his first goal of the season. Ten minutes later, Kevin Vang (Cranston, R.I.) played a cross into the Everton area that caused a goalmouth scramble with the ball eventually falling to Meireles, who finished into the corner for his team-leading third goal of the season, making the score 3-0.
The Revs rounded out the scoring in the 76th minute, when Meireles dribbled down the right and crossed for Cassemiro, whose shot was saved, only for Connor Haskell (Medfield, Mass.) to follow up and tuck away the rebound, making the final score 4-0. In goal, Eddie Walsh (Westwood, Mass.) made four saves as the U-16s pushed their shutout streak to five games.
