A LOOK BACK:

On Wednesday night, June 17, the U20s defeated in-state rival U20 PDA, 6-0. Walter Hines (Brooklyn, NY) and Widner Saint-Cyr (Irvington, NJ) each scored twice and Sam Archer (Springfield Garden, NY) and Andrew Welker (Mechanicsburg, PA) also scored to lead the Red Bulls to a comfortable victory. Sheldon Parkinson (Bronx, NY) earned the clean sheet in goal.
"We got it going pretty well tonight and controlled the game from start to finish," said U20 head coach Rob Elliott. "It was good to translate all of the possession we had into goals tonight."
On Saturday, June 20, the U20s improved to 5-0-0 on the season following a 2-0, rain-soaked, win on the road against U20 TSF Academy. Goals from Archer and Ryan Kinne (Naugatuck, CT) proved to be the difference in the match. Parkinson saved a penalty kick and recorded his second straight shutout for the Red Bulls.

Sam Adjei (Newark, NJ) scored two goals in the first 10 minutes of the game to help the Red Bulls to the win. Max Brown (New York, NY) and Santiago Castano (Union City, NJ) split halves in goal for the victory.
"This was a great opportunity for us to see some of our players against the best players in the country," said head coach Rob Elliott. "Any time you beat a National Team it is rewarding for our players. It was a very enjoyable game for the players to be a part of and there was a high level of soccer played by both teams."
