The Philadelphia Union Academy U18 team continued their strong 2016 with a 4-0 win over Empire United in West Henrietta, New York, on Saturday to post their fifth-straight clean sheet and win.

Reserve goalkeeper Justin Bajek got the start and added to first choice keeper Andrew Verdi's four-game scoreless streak. The last goal conceded by the U18 team came in a 1-1 draw with FC Dallas on December 8.
