UNDER-18s
The Under-18s suffered a 3-2 loss to FC Bolts Celtic on Sunday. After a fifth-minute own goal by Bolts goalkeeper David Price gave the Revs an early lead, Matthew Callahan equalized for the visitors in the 26th minute, sending the teams into the break tied at 1-1. Matt Nyeayea (Worcester, Mass.) then scored an unassisted goal in the 65th minute, beating Price with a low shot from 20 yards out.
