FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The Revolution Academy continued MLS NEXT spring action this past Saturday, with the Under-18s, Under-16s, and Under-15s traveling to D.C. United, while the Under-14s and Under-13s were also on the road to visit Downtown United Soccer Club.

The U-18s claimed a dominant 3-0 shutout win over D.C. United last Saturday. Cristiano Carlos (2008 - Chicopee, Mass.) found the opening goal in the 58th minute on an assist from Daniel Dixon (2008 - Yardley, Pa.). Grant Emerhi (2008 - Mansfield, Mass.) and Josh Macedo (2009 - Willowbrook, Ill.) rounded out the scoring for New England in the 75th and 85th minutes, respectively, with assists from Ivan Villalobos Lopez (2009 - Lumberton, N.C.) and Paolo Tornberg Ayala (2009 - Revere, Mass.). Ryker Fauth (2009 - Milford, Mass.) suited up in goal, earning his sixth clean sheet of the season.

In other MLS NEXT competition, the U-16s dropped a 3-0 decision, but the Revolution closed out action at D.C. United with the U-15s posting a 2-0 win. Shayne Dos Santos (2011 - Arlington, Mass.) netted a brace, scoring both goals on assists from Musah Adamu (2011 - Manchester, Conn.). In net, Zach LaPierre (2011 - Somers, Conn.) helped the Revolution U-15s secure their third clean sheet of the season.

Against Downtown United Soccer Club, the U-14s secured their sixth consecutive win with a 5-0 triumph last Saturday. Gavin Rybak (2012 - Andover, Mass.) led the scoring effort with a brace, while Enrique Rosado (2012 - Manchester, Conn.) contributed two assists. Julian Gomez (2012 - East Providence, R.I.) also had an impressive performance, scoring a goal and handing out an assist. Drake Roberts (2012 - Bedford, Mass.) and Dylan Armah (2012 - Providence, R.I.) rounded out the scoring for New England, while Xavier Farone (2012 - Plainville, Conn.) recorded his seventh shutout of the season.

The U-13s rounded out the weekend with a hard-fought 5-3 victory over Downtown United Soccer Club. In the opening five minutes, Lucas Williams (2013 - Attleboro, Mass.) and Jimmy O'Connor (2013 - Coventry Lake, Conn.) converted their chances to give New England an early 2-0 lead, with assists from Oliver Conlon (2013 - Boston, Mass.) and Lucca Alden-Dunn (2014 - Dover, Mass.). Downtown United SC responded with three goals to take the lead, but a brace from Mikey Miller (2013 - Westford, Mass.) and a tally from Austin Martin (2013 - Randolph, Mass.) sealed the 5-3 result for the Revolution.

The U-18s, U-16s, and U-15s are on the road this weekend to visit CF Montreal on Saturday, May 9, while the U-14s and U-13s travel to take on regional rival Boston Bolts on Saturday. Click Here to learn more about the New England Revolution Academy.
