FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – All four New England Revolution Academy teams were in action last Saturday as the MLS NEXT spring season continued. The U-19s hosted BW Gottschee Academy while the U-17s and U-15s welcomed Nashville SC to Gillette Stadium. New England was victorious in all three of those matches, while the U-14s hit the road to take on Valeo FC in Newton, Mass.
The U-19s notched a 3-1 victory over BW Gottschee Academy with defender Morris Matthews (2003 – Cambridge, Mass.) scoring twice to bring him to four goals on the season. Forward Greg Cook (2004 – Las Vegas, N.V.) added a third goal for New England. The U-17s also won their game, 3-1, vs. Nashville SC. Forward Malcolm Fry (2005 – Groton, Mass.), forward Benaiah Hanson (2006 – Forney, T.X.), and midfielder Marco Dos Santos (2005 – Methuen, Mass.) all tallied to give the U-17s their ninth win of the spring.

Forward Peyton Miller (2007 – Unionville, Conn.) scored twice, notching his 21st and 22nd goal of the 2021-22 MLS NEXT campaign. The U-14s fell vs. Valeo FC, 2-1, on Saturday with forward Braydon Fagundes (2008 – Warwick, R.I.) scoring the lone New England goal.
