Sporting KC U-17s enjoy two-game sweep in Colorado road trip

Three Sporting Kansas City Academy teams visited Colorado last weekend for a pair of tripleheaders as the 2018-19 U.S. Soccer Development Academy season resumed in the Rocky Mountains.

The Sporting KC U-17s emerged with victories over the Colorado Rapids and Real Colorado, respectively, while the U-19s and U-15s experienced mixed results during two-game road trip.

U-17s on the Rise

An excellent weekend out west saw the Sporting KC U-17s improve to 3-4-1 in the Frontier Division. Friday's 1-0 decision against the Colorado Rapids at Dick's Sporting Goods Park was delicately poised until the 70th minute, when Edward Mendy bagged the lone goal to claim all three points.
