The Sounders U-17 and U-19 squads put a bow on 2018 over the weekend with a robust showing at the annual DA Winter Showcase in Florida.
Despite the absence of key attacking players like winger Marlon Vargas, attacking midfielder Danny Robles and striker Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez – the latter two were with the U.S. U-17 national team for the Nike Friendlies – the U-19s collected three wins from three matches against opponents that all lead their respective conferences midway through the regular season.
“We had three very difficult opponents,” said U-19 Head Coach Michael Morris.
