Players Development Academy rolled into YSC over the weekend to face Philadelphia Union’s academy teams, and the Union once again rose to the occasion.
The Union Under-13s played a back-and-forth first half against PDA and both teams picked up an early goal. In the second half, the Union U-13s stuck to their gameplan and wore down PDA, picking up a penalty in the process. Head coach Phil Karn’s ability to get effective play from his substitutes made a big difference for the 13s as they wrestled control of the second half and held on until the end.
Two goals four minutes apart in the first half helped the Union U-14s in their match against PDA as they continued to show that they can hold on after strong opening halves.
