2013-14 U-15/16 Development Academy Playoffs: Day 1
Competitive Opening Day for U-15/16 Teams Features Closely-Contested Matches and no Draws
WESTFIELD, Indiana (June 24, 2014) – The 2013-14 Development Academy Playoffs for the U-15/16 age group kicked off Tuesday as teams fought through multiple weather delays to complete the first stage.
In an unusual occurrence, all 16 games featured a decisive result as not a single draw took place. Surprisingly, the lack of a tie did not paint the entire picture because the matches were closely contested across the board. Only three games featured a three-goal victory, with every other match decided by one or two goals.
Among the more convincing victors, the LA Galaxy earned a 4-1 win against Sockers FC in Group D. In Group E, Kendall SC defeated Academy first-timer Philadelphia Union 3-0 and Chicago Magic PSG defeated Albertson by a 3-0 score.
Elsewhere, defending U-15/16 champion Real Salt Lake AZ opened this year’s tournament with a 3-1 victory against NJSA 04 in Group F play.
