FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The Revolution Academy's Under-18s, Under-16s, and Under-15s concluded their MLS NEXT fall season last week, competing in the 2025 MLS NEXT Fest in Mesa, Arizona.

In the opening match of Fest, the U-18s fell to Houston Dynamo, 3-0. Last Saturday, the U-18s shut out the San Jose Earthquakes, 1-0. Makai Wells (2009 - Washington, D.C.) tallied the team's lone goal, capitalizing on a feed from Ivan Villalobos Lopez (2009 - Lumberton, N.C.) in the 13th minute. Goalkeeper Ryker Fauth (2009 - Milford, Mass.) saw action in net to collect his second clean sheet of the season.

On Sunday, the U-18s fell to the Seattle Sounders, 2-1. After Seattle tallied two first-half goals, Zayden Bediako (2009 - Fairfax, Va.) pulled one back in the 47th minute, before the Sounders closed the scoring in the 77th minute. The U-18s collected a 4-2-2 record in MLS NEXT Flex and combined for 49 goals in the fall campaign.

The U-16s posted a 1-1-1 record over three games at the annual showcase. Last Saturday, the U-16s earned a 2-1 win over the Colorado Rapids, highlighted by a brace from Lucas Pereira (2010 - East Merrimack, N.H.). After the U-16s fell to LA Galaxy, 3-0, the team closed out their Fest run with a 2-2 draw against LAFC. Twumasi converted from the penalty spot in the 51st minute, and after LAFC rallied with two goals of their own, Shifaq Fazl (2010 - Branford, Conn.) equalized late in regulation time. Velez led the U-16s' attack this season with eight goals, while Twumasi recorded a team-best six assists.

The U-15s opened tournament play last Wednesday, falling to Nashville SC, 1-0. In their second match of the tournament, the U-15s dueled LA Galaxy to a 3-3 draw. Arthur Bernardino (2011 - Shirley, Mass.) completed a brace, with both of his goals assisted by Rico Janairo (2011 - Auburndale, Mass.). Musah Adamu (2011 - Manchester, Conn.) also contributed to the scoring. The U-15s closed out Fest with a 4-4 draw to FC Dallas, after New England tallied four second-half goals via Janairo, Bernardino, Dylan Armah (2012 - Providence, R.I.), and Dalu Nwazojie (2011 - Stoughton, Mass.). Competing up an age group, the U-15s secured a first-place finish in the MLS NEXT U-16 Northeast Division with an undefeated 4-0-2 record. Bernardino capped the fall season as the team's leading scorer with 10 goals.

The Revolution's U-14s concluded fall action with a 4-5-2 record in MLS NEXT. Forward Drake Roberts (2012 - Bedford, Mass.) paced New England with five goals, while goalkeepers James Warren (2012 - Wellesley, Mass.) and Xavier Farone (2012 - Plainville, Conn.) split time between the posts to both record three clean sheets this season.

Rounding out the 2025 MLS NEXT fall campaign, the U-13s boasted an 8-3-0 mark, owning 36 goals and 25 assists. Forward Michael Miller (2013 - Westford, Mass.) tallied a triumphant team-leading 15 goals. In net for New England, goalkeeper Kyle Surkont (2013 - Warren, R.I.) registered six shutout victories.

All five Revolution Academy teams will resume the 2025-26 MLS NEXT season in late February. Visit the MLS NEXT home page or Revolutionsoccer.net/Academy for more information and the latest news.
