Dec. 6, 2002

BRADENTON, Fla. (Friday, December 6, 2002) – The second annual U.S. Soccer / Nike Friendlies kicked off today at the IMG Academy, and the U.S. Under-17s opened with a win and a draw on a surprisingly cold day in Bradenton, Fla. The U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team has been split into two squads for this event – an older team made up primarily of players born in 1986 and a younger team made up primarily of players born in 1987 – with the older team competing in the Under-18 age group and the younger team in the Under-17 bracket.
