NYCFC Academy Alum | Seven Alumni Make the Elite 8 of College Soccer

New York City FC's academy will be well represented in the Elite 8 of college soccer, with seven academy graduates participating in the NCAA Men's College Cup.

Georgetown University duo Dante Polvara and Will Sands will take on Marshall University on Monday at 1 PM ET after a nail-biting 3-2 victory against Penn State Nittany Lions.

Polvara opened the scoring for his side from the penalty spot after just nine minutes, which helped his side to a 3-1 lead at half-time.

Penn State managed to summon one further goal early into the second half, but ultimately they could not find an equalizer.
