UNDER-18s
The Under-18s earned a 5-0 victory against FC Greater Boston on Monday. After a strong start, Manny Andrade (Boston, Mass.) - assisted by Mitchell Taintor (Storrs, Conn.) - opened the Revs' account in the ninth minute. Andrade then earned an assist on Dominik Machado's (Attleboro, Mass.) 31st-minute goal, slipping his teammate through to score from a tight angle. New England continued to capitalize on its momentum in the second half. Machado put away a second goal in the 53rd minute, when Greater Boston goalkeeper Jack Blatchford was unable to control a powerful shot from Colin Patch (Providence, R.I.). Machado latched onto rebound, heading it home. Ramiro Osorio (Hooksett, N.H.) scored a pair of goals to close out the game, both assisted by Jack Hilger (Hopkinton, Mass.). In the 71st minute, Osorio received a pass from Hilger, and beat three defenders en route to scoring his first goal. Three minutes later, Osorio scored again, his left-footed shot going between substitute goalkeeper Ryan Benner Simpson's legs. Revolution goalkeeper Matt Mozynski (Bellingham, Mass.) made four saves to preserve the shutout.
UNDER-16s
The Under-16s topped FC Greater Boston, 4-1, on Monday. Zach Herivaux (Brookline, Mass.) put the Revs ahead in just the third minute of play with a goal assisted by Gabe Gissie (Worcester, Mass.). Herivaux received the ball inside the 18 and unleashed a shot, which was parried into the goal by Greater Boston goalkeeper David Price. Declan McCabe (Weston, Mass.) then scored on a direct free kick in the 18th minute. Greater Boston pulled one back to make it 2-1 in the 22nd minute with Alex Ainscough converting a free kick. On the other side of the break, Gissie scored a pair of goals. The forward slotted his first home in the 46th minute, and followed up with a second in the 62nd minute - both assisted by Herivaux. The Revs' three-goal advantage held through to the final whistle, earning them a pivotal three points against a Northeast Division opponent.
