Academy U16s hit showcase, U13s and 14s face Loudoun United

The academy season continued last weekend with the Union U16s traveling to Tuckahoe Turf Farms for a showcase and the U13s and U14s heading south to Loudoun United.

The 16s went 1-1-1 on Saturday and Sunday, defeating Seacoast United before falling 1-0 to BW Gottschee and drawing 3-3 with Beachside. The weather turned the playing surface rough and the Union could not possess the ball in their usual manner.

The U13s suffered a difficult defeat to Loudoun. Physically outmatched but still fighting hard, Phil Karn's boys grabbed a first half goal but couldn't hold on for points.
